UNSPSC 85602126: Bypass sigmoid colon to sigmoid colon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass sigmoid colon to sigmoid colon, open approach. 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 0D1N0ZN

UNSPSC 85602126 Bypass sigmoid colon to sigmoid colon, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical intervention or the specific gastrointestinal procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously to health services procurement rather than to procedural medical services or supplies state and local governments would purchase.

The recent opportunities come from corrections systems (Muscogee County, Georgia), county health benefits administration (Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County, California), and municipal public safety (Santa Monica, California). No evidence supports that these issuing bodies or others are procuring under this code for its stated commodity scope. The code currently shows no relevant recent activity for surgical procedures, surgical supplies, or related medical device procurement at the state and local level. Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for state and local procurement purposes and investigate whether health services opportunities are being misclassified or routed through alternative UNSPSC categories.
