UNSPSC 85602179: Bypass ascending colon to rectum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ascending colon to rectum 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 0D1K0KP

UNSPSC 85602179, Bypass ascending colon to rectum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—a gastrointestinal bypass using non-biological tissue in an open surgical approach—yet the recent opportunities tagged under it address occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve gastrointestinal bypass procedures or implantable medical devices. The disconnect suggests the code is either a system misclassification or an artifact of how state and local procurement systems handle health-services contracts.

State and local buyers issuing under this code span county health systems (Santa Clara County), state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), county human resources departments (Collier County), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and regional health authorities. Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no meaningful recent procurement of the device or procedure it nominally describes.
