UNSPSC 85601828: Bypass descending colon to cutaneous 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 cutaneous 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 0D1M8K4

UNSPSC 85601828, a Commodity code nominally describing a medical device or procedure intervention, shows no substantive recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its technical taxonomy. The six recent opportunities in the source—disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span healthcare administration, occupational health protocols, and clinical staffing services. None of these solicitations concern bypass descending colon procedures or nonautologous tissue substitutes. The code appears to reflect a narrow or specialized medical taxonomy entry that state and local procurement offices rarely or do not use to tag current buying activity. A business development firm evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local opportunity targeting.

The recent opportunities instead cluster around medical services contracting—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical carve-out benefit management, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington; the geographic spread reflects scattered state and county-level health benefit, occupational safety, and juvenile detention procurement rather than any regional concentration. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code is misapplied or unused by these jurisdictions.
