UNSPSC 85601865: Bypass ascending colon to descending colon 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 ascending colon to descending colon 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 0D1K8KM

UNSPSC 85601865 Bypass ascending colon to descending colon via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific surgical or endoscopic procedure named in the code. The code shows no recent state and local solicitations for the procedure itself.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual opportunities suggests either tagging inconsistency or misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy to these health services procurements. The opportunities present do span multiple issuing bodies — county health systems (Santa Clara), county pension boards (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), county probation departments (Harris County), and municipalities (Long Beach, Collier County) — across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, but they reflect administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing arrangements rather than the procedure code itself. Firms evaluating this Commodity code should verify whether they actually pursue endoscopic surgical procedures, as recent state and local procurement activity under this classification does not reflect that scope.
