This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ascending colon to cutaneous 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 0D1K0K4

UNSPSC 85602184 Bypass ascending colon to cutaneous with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being procured in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal description suggests a surgical procedure involving vascular or tissue grafting, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary clinical staffing qualifications. These opportunities reflect administrative and preventive healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing coordination—not the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with no standout repeat buyers across the recent postings.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in a single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) covering disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension benefit applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring baseline, periodic, and exit examinations by board-certified occupational medicine physicians across 14 ferry system locations; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering pre- and post-care for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. The code shows little activity aligned with its stated surgical scope and appears to reflect a classification mismatch in the state and local procurement system.
