UNSPSC 85602131: Bypass sigmoid colon to rectum with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass sigmoid colon to rectum with synthetic 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 0D1N0JP

UNSPSC 85602131 Bypass sigmoid colon to rectum with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — are administrative healthcare contracting and staffing arrangements unrelated to surgical bypass procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, but state and local procurement databases do not systematically solicit or award contracts for individual surgical procedures through public notice channels; healthcare systems and correctional facilities manage clinical protocols and vendor relationships through internal processes or master service agreements with hospital networks and managed-care organizations that are not captured at the procedure-code level in UNSPSC-tagged RFPs and RFQs.

The mismatch between code title and actual solicitation scope suggests either miscoding at the source or a categorical error in how the opportunities were indexed. Business development professionals evaluating this code for pursuit should treat it as inactive for state and local government contracting purposes and focus resources on higher-level healthcare service codes that capture the administrative and operational contracts actually being solicited — pharmacy benefit management, inmate healthcare services, employee health plan administration, and clinical staffing — rather than procedure-specific surgical codes.
