UNSPSC 85602142: Bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass descending 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 0D1M0KN

UNSPSC 85602142 Bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope. The sourced opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the gastrointestinal surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). This code shows no meaningful recent procurement activity aligned with its stated medical procedure classification.

The geographic spread of activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but the opportunities themselves do not represent buying under the code's intended scope. No representative solicitations exist that actually solicit bypass procedures or related surgical supplies and services. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies when similar opportunities surface under this classification number.
