UNSPSC 85602268: Bypass ascending colon to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ascending colon to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 0D1K3J4

UNSPSC 85602268 Bypass ascending colon to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the state and local opportunities currently tagged to it. The recent solicitations posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which concern bypass graft procedures or surgical implants. State and local procurement systems appear to be misclassifying healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit-management work under a clinical procedure code. The mismatch suggests limited or erratic use of this code tier for actual state and local contracting activity related to its nominal scope.

The opportunities that are tagged to the code span issuing bodies including city and county governments, county health systems, and county probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent examples include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issuing an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting proposals for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), Collier County issuing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (due April 9, 2026 — an outlier date suggesting a posting lag or amendment), and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental misalignment between the code's procedural title and the healthcare administration and staffing services actually being solicited, this code does not represent a useful targeting vector for vendors in state and local healthcare procurement.
