UNSPSC 85602166: Bypass transverse colon to transverse 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 transverse 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 0D1L0JL

UNSPSC 85602166 Bypass transverse colon to transverse colon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for gastrointestinal bypass using synthetic material, yet the six most recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, medical record summarization for pension disability determinations, surgical centers of excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve colon bypass procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this Commodity code has been broadly misapplied across health services categories that fall outside its surgical-procedure scope.

Recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across the public sector: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFQ due October 9, 2026 ($0–$4 million estimated over two years plus extensions); the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 maximum over five years); and the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP with historical annual spending of $8.7 million. The code appears to function as a catch-all for health services rather than a dedicated surgical-procedure code, and the disconnect between the stated Commodity and the work actually being procured suggests caution in bid pursuit unless your firm explicitly operates in occupational health, benefits administration, or medical staffing—none of which aligns with gastrointestinal surgical procedures.
