This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass transverse 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 0D1L0KN

UNSPSC 85602159 Bypass transverse colon to sigmoid colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not align with the actual work being procured under this code in recent state and local solicitations. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve bypass surgery or tissue-substitute procedures. The code appears to be a clinical procedure descriptor that state and local procurement systems have applied incorrectly to medical administration and staffing services, creating a mismatch between the taxonomy label and the buying activity.

Issuing bodies posting under this code include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries; County of Santa Clara Health System), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office; City of Long Beach). Recent representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 (occupational physician examinations across 14 Washington locations); the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 for disability retirement determinations; and the City of Long Beach surgery benefit carve-out program RFP due October 7, 2026 (Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in California, Washington, and Arizona. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the surgical procedure it nominally names and should not be relied upon for procurement targeting.
