UNSPSC 85602428: Bypass descending colon to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass descending colon to cutaneous with synthetic 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 0D1M4J4

UNSPSC 85602428 Bypass descending colon to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with its nominal medical-device or procedure-specific scope. The opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing for clinical ancillary services, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve the particular endoscopic bypass procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a functional repurposing of the code as a catch-all for healthcare services procurement that does not map to the code's intended commodity definition. The work being solicited does not constitute a coherent procurement category under this code's actual name.

Recent opportunities have been posted by health systems, county human resources and benefits offices, county juvenile probation departments, and state transportation agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington between July and September 2026. Concrete examples include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Collier County issuing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual spending near $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFS RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement pattern and appears unsuitable for business development targeting.
