UNSPSC 85602178: Bypass ascending colon to cutaneous, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ascending colon to cutaneous, 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 0D1K0Z4

UNSPSC 85602178 Bypass ascending colon to cutaneous, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities record shows no contracts or solicitations for this medical procedure code. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect healthcare service procurement across different domains—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which align with the specific surgical procedure named in the code.

State and local governments are not buying cardiac bypass procedures as a line-item procurement category. The mismatch between the code and actual purchasing activity suggests either a data entry error in the source records or a misclassification of opportunities. No representative recent solicitations, geographic concentration, or issuing-body pattern can be derived from these records because none of the tagged opportunities are purchasing the service the code describes. Analysts evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any healthcare-related opportunities of interest.
