UNSPSC 85602435: Bypass transverse colon to descending colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass transverse colon to descending colon, 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 0D1L4ZM

UNSPSC 85602435 Bypass transverse colon to descending colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and emergency hospital care. None of these solicitations involve the gastrointestinal procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's clinical title and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic classification error in how state and local procurement offices are tagging medical and health services opportunities, or a data integrity issue in how the code has been applied to these opportunities. The issuing bodies span a diverse mix: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Ferries), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county government human resources and health consortiums (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). This breadth reflects how broadly health services procurement is distributed across state and local jurisdictions.

The recent opportunities show activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental misalignment between the code's procedural scope and the health services administration work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant procurement activity for vendors offering the named surgical procedure or related gastrointestinal interventions.
