UNSPSC 85602165: Bypass transverse colon to descending colon with synthetic 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 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 0D1L0JM

UNSPSC 85602165 (Bypass transverse colon to descending colon with synthetic substitute, open approach) is a Commodity code that does not align with any of the recent state and local opportunities in the source material. The opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative healthcare services, employee benefits administration, and clinical staffing procurement, none of which relate to the gastrointestinal surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch indicates that state and local procurement systems are using this code incorrectly for healthcare administration and benefits contracting rather than for medical devices or surgical procedures.

The recent activity shows issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington—primarily county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and state transportation departments—but none of these opportunities actually involve colorectal bypass surgery or synthetic graft materials. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated scope and should be treated as misclassified in these postings rather than as an active market for the procedure itself.
