This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ascending colon to ascending 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 0D1K8KK

UNSPSC 85601867 Bypass ascending colon to ascending colon via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with its medical device or surgical implant scope. The posted solicitations instead reflect healthcare administration, occupational and employee health services, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve tissue substitutes or endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities or that this particular code sees minimal relevant recent procurement activity in the state and local market.

The opportunities that do appear under this code span diverse issuing bodies including a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), two city government benefits offices (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice agency (Harris County), and a county procurement division (Collier County). Geographic activity touches Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no clear concentration. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026), Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP (due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited, business development professionals should verify code classification before pursuing opportunities listed under this UNSPSC category.
