This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon 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 0D1M0JN

UNSPSC 85602146 Bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC do not involve surgical procedures or synthetic colon substitutes. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect diverse healthcare staffing, benefits administration, and medical evaluation services unrelated to the code's stated scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 solicits independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach's HR26753 requests proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation seeks occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issues an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County procures Pharmacy Benefit Management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve the specific surgical procedure named in the code.

No recent state and local opportunities demonstrate authentic demand for the procedure described under UNSPSC 85602146. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure scope and the healthcare administrative and staffing services actually posted under it suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code does not reflect current procurement activity in state and local markets. A business development professional evaluating this code should verify the UNSPSC classification with the issuing jurisdictions before allocating pursuit resources, as the posted opportunities do not support demand for the code's nominal product.
