This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ascending colon to rectum with synthetic 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 0D1K0JP

UNSPSC 85602185 Bypass ascending colon to rectum with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that encompasses surgical procedure definitions and associated clinical services in state and local health and benefits administration. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, however, show minimal alignment with the specific surgical procedure named in the code's taxonomy. Instead, the opportunities reveal a wider pattern of health services procurement: occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical specialty networks through Centers of Excellence. The issuing bodies include county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county commissioners, county juvenile justice agencies, and health-plan administrators. The work actually being solicited under this code spans medical record review and summarization, physician-led examination scheduling, workplace occupational health compliance, and surgical-procedure carve-out networks for public employee health plans rather than direct provision of the specific bypass procedure named in the code.

Geographic activity centers on California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. The County of Santa Clara Health System (Santa Clara County, California) issued a non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026, with a five-year term valued at $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry-system personnel across fourteen Washington locations due October 9, 2026. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753) for surgical procedure carve-out networks covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026. This code shows limited recent activity directly aligned to the specific surgical procedure in its nominal taxonomy; the opportunities present a mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope.
