UNSPSC 85601825: Bypass descending colon to rectum via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 rectum via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0D1M8KP

UNSPSC 85601825 Bypass descending colon to rectum via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with the code's nominal medical device or procedure scope. The sourced solicitations instead reflect broader health services procurement — independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities correspond to the bypass procedure or related implant materials the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee health plans (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Ferries), county detention systems (Harris County), and county health consortiums (Collier County), indicating that state and local procurement offices are using this code to tag health services transactions without regard to the underlying device or procedure taxonomy.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Washington (statewide WSF operations), and Texas (Harris County), suggesting no concentrated regional activity. The most recent and largest opportunity is Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million, a three-year contract term, and proposals due April 9, 2026. Other significant solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP with proposals due October 9, 2026 and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP with proposals due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the specific procedure it nominally describes, making it unsuitable for business development targeting surgical implant or device contracts.
