This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass sigmoid colon to sigmoid colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0D1N0KN

UNSPSC 85602129 Bypass sigmoid colon to sigmoid colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits medical evaluation, surgical procedure carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the surgical bypass procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to a diverse set of health benefit administration and clinical staffing services that lack a coherent operational thread.

Activity under this code shows no concentration by issuing body or geography. The Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System represent a cross-section of state agencies, county procurement offices, and municipal health systems, each with distinct scopes unrelated to each other or to the code's formal name. Recent solicitations include WSDOT's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (due October 7, 2026). No procurement pattern justifies pursuing this code as a coherent market segment; vendors should verify the UNSPSC coding on any opportunity before committing bid resources.
