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 autologous 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 0D1M874

UNSPSC 85601836 Bypass descending colon to cutaneous via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure classification, but state and local governments posting under this code are actually soliciting occupational and disability medical surveillance, medical record review, independent medical evaluations, and healthcare staffing services unrelated to the code's nominal surgical-procedure scope. The mismatch between the code's technical name and the work actually being bought suggests minimal relevant recent procurement activity under this particular commodity classification for medical device or procedure services.

Recent opportunities tagged with this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program managing Centers of Excellence networks for high-cost procedures, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems, and city retirement and human resources offices. These opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, but the code shows little genuine activity in its stated commodity domain and warrants careful scope verification before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
