This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass sigmoid colon to sigmoid colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0D1N4KN

UNSPSC 85602409 Bypass sigmoid colon to sigmoid colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent record. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent state and local opportunities posted under it—ranging from independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, to pharmacy benefit management, to temporary health professional staffing, to occupational medical surveillance—represent administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing contracting that bear no relationship to a defined surgical intervention. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with this code in error, or the code assignment reflects a data quality issue in the source system rather than genuine procurement alignment. The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), multiple counties (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating broad geographic and jurisdictional reach, but their work falls wholly outside the code's stated scope.

The recent opportunities show no procurement activity that actually involves bypass sigmoid colon procedures or nonautologous tissue substitutes. The code carries no signal value for vendors pursuing state and local contracts under its nominal surgical taxonomy. Firms should verify code assignments against RFP scope language before pursuing opportunities tagged to this Commodity code.
