This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ascending colon to transverse colon 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 0D1K8JL

UNSPSC 85601872 Bypass ascending colon to transverse colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific gastrointestinal surgical procedure using synthetic materials and endoscopic technique; however, the most recent opportunities tagged to this code solicits independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs — none of which concern the implantation or deployment of synthetic colon-bypass devices. The mismatch suggests this code is rarely or incorrectly applied in state and local procurement systems, and activity under it does not reflect the procedure the code name describes.

The recent opportunities show activity from diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), cities (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County), and county health systems, spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. However, none of these solicitations relates to colon-bypass surgical devices or procedures. Prospective vendors should note that this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope and verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 85601872.
