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 0D1M0ZP

UNSPSC 85602137 Bypass descending colon to rectum, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The opportunities in the source block soliciting under this code center on healthcare services administration — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical procedures or the specific operative intervention the code nominates.

The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual healthcare procurement activity posted under it suggests either a classification error in the opportunities or a systematic misapplication of the code by state and local issuing bodies. State and local procurement offices occasionally tag opportunities with codes that do not match the work being bought. The Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical services, RFP due May 15, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), Monroe County, Florida (virtual primary and urgent care, RFP due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County (peer support services), and Santa Monica Fire Department (medical director services) have all posted opportunities under this Commodity code, but none procure operative bypass procedures or related surgical services. The code shows recent activity but little relevant procurement signal for firms pursuing surgical services or related medical devices and supplies aligned with the code's stated scope.
