UNSPSC 85601822: Bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0D1M8ZN

UNSPSC 85601822 Bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that describes a specific gastrointestinal endoscopic procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that procedure or related medical devices. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit management programs, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention — none of which align with the endoscopic procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests the code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated scope, and state and local procurement systems appear to be applying the code inconsistently or to unrelated healthcare services.

The geographic spread of the posted opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any region. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, cost-based evaluation, two-year term with up to five one-year extensions), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume). Business development professionals should note that this code does not reliably signal procurement activity aligned with gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures and may be better monitored through health services and occupational medicine–specific code families rather than this commodity designation.
