UNSPSC 85602162: Bypass transverse colon to cutaneous 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 cutaneous 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 0D1L0K4

UNSPSC 85602162 Bypass transverse colon to cutaneous with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not represent colorectal bypass surgery or related surgical interventions; instead, they reflect a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual work being solicited. The posted opportunities cluster around occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical care center-of-excellence networks, and pediatric emergency services—none of which fall within the specific surgical procedure the code names.

The geographic spread of the few opportunities present spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but these opportunities are not meaningfully comparable to the code's stated scope and represent a taxonomy classification issue rather than a coherent procurement category. Issuers include state transportation departments, cities, counties, and regional health systems; however, because the work does not match the code's definition, the opportunities provide no actionable signal for vendors specializing in bypass surgery or related surgical services. State and local procurement analysts evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for actual surgical procedure procurement and verify code alignment when similar opportunities appear in future notice streams.
