UNSPSC 85602169: Bypass transverse colon to sigmoid colon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass transverse colon to sigmoid colon with autologous 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 0D1L07N

UNSPSC 85602169 Bypass transverse colon to sigmoid colon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The posted opportunities instead span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluation services, surgical and medical procedure benefit management for public employees, pharmacy benefit management, specialty emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involves the colostomy bypass procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are diverse: a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), two county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County), and two municipal retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). This fragmentation and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggest the code is either misapplied in source systems or carries little relevance to active state and local contracting.

Geographic activity spans Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas across the six opportunities identified, with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026, covering 14 ferry system locations statewide with a two-year term plus extension options), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, worth up to $750,000 over five years for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications), the City of Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP (due October 7, 2026, targeting Centers of Excellence networks for employees and retirees), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing services RFSQ (due October 7, 2026, establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories). The code shows no recent activity that directly matches colostomy or bypass surgical procedures, and pursuit decisions should account for this fundamental scope mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and current state and local procurement patterns.
