UNSPSC 85602160: Bypass transverse colon to descending colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass transverse colon to descending 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 0D1L0KM

UNSPSC 85602160 Bypass transverse colon to descending colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific gastrointestinal surgical procedure — does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations in the source material reflect medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services. None of these opportunities involve the surgical procedure named in the code. The source shows no recent state and local opportunities actually soliciting for the gastrointestinal bypass procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the opportunities tagged to it suggests either a data-classification error in the underlying procurement systems or that this UNSPSC code is being used as a catchall for health services procurement in some jurisdictions. State and local buyers should verify the correct code family or Commodity code for gastrointestinal surgical procedures if that service category is material to business development strategy. The code, as currently tagged in active procurement systems, does not surface relevant opportunity volume for contractors pursuing surgical procedure work.
