UNSPSC 85602193: Bypass ascending colon to descending colon with autologous 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 autologous 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 0D1K07M

UNSPSC 85602193 Bypass ascending colon to descending colon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—cardiovascular bypass graft using the patient's own tissue—yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code procure occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services involve cardiovascular bypass grafting or autologous tissue grafts. The code shows no relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local business in surgical procedure delivery or tissue-based cardiac interventions.

The misalignment suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source database or that this Commodity code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for diverse health services procurement that falls outside the code's nominal scope. State and local buyers across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida are actively soliciting health services, but the work being procured—occupational medicine compliance at Washington State Ferries; disability medical record review for Arizona public safety pension boards; surgical care networks through Centers of Excellence for Long Beach; and temporary clinical staffing through Santa Clara Health System—bears no connection to the specific cardiac procedure this code nominally describes. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for decision-making purposes and verify category alignment before responding to any opportunities tagged under 85602193.
