UNSPSC 85602181: Bypass ascending colon to descending colon 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 descending colon 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 0D1K0KM

UNSPSC 85602181 Bypass ascending colon to descending colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a surgical vascular procedure performed in a hospital operating room—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code identifier.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, specialty surgical carve-outs for health plans, and emergency youth detention medical services. None of these solicitations involve vascular surgery with tissue substitutes, and the mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities or a material divergence between the code's intended scope and its actual use. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) sought occupational medical surveillance; and Collier County (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) requested pharmacy benefit management. Without recent opportunities that reflect the actual surgical procedure named in the code, vendors pursuing this UNSPSC should verify the correct code assignment before investing in pursuit strategy.
