UNSPSC 85602422: Bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass descending 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 0D1M4KN

UNSPSC 85602422 Bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving bowel bypass—and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The six recent opportunities solicited encompass independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the bowel bypass procedure the code nominally describes. The tagged opportunities instead reflect general health benefit administration, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing—categories that appear misaligned with the code's procedure-specific nomenclature.

State and local issuing bodies are geographically dispersed across multiple jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). Recent representative opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the WSDOT RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferries locations with responses due October 9, 2026 and pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the Santa Clara County Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code appears to reflect a data-tagging anomaly rather than genuine procurement activity for the specified surgical procedure. Vendors pursuing state and local opportunities under this code should verify the actual service scope in each RFP rather than rely on the code's nominal description.
