UNSPSC 85602150: Bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon with autologous 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 autologous 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 0D1M07N

UNSPSC 85602150 Bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no relation to that procedure — instead they encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its taxonomic label and what state and local buyers are actually procuring under it. The opportunities span county pension offices, state transportation departments, health systems, county commissioners' boards, and juvenile probation authorities, reflecting fragmentation across issuing-body types rather than coherent commodity focus.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, drawn from five recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 with response dates clustered in September and October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's recent activity reflects procurement misclassification rather than genuine commodity-level medical device or surgical-service buying; buyers pursuing work under this code should verify actual scope alignment with the issuing body's RFP language rather than relying on the UNSPSC label.
