UNSPSC 85601869: Bypass ascending colon to rectum via natural or artificial opening synthetic 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 rectum via natural or artificial opening synthetic 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 0D1K8JP

UNSPSC 85601869, Bypass ascending colon to rectum via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under the code's nominal medical device scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care network management, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with gastrointestinal synthetic bypass devices or their procurement. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent coding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the code's technical definition and how it is being applied in practice.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity centers on California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent procurements include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. None of these opportunities involve procurement of the synthetic bypass device that the code nominally describes, indicating that pursuit decisions should be grounded in verification of actual scope alignment rather than reliance on the UNSPSC code classification alone.
