UNSPSC 85602445: Bypass transverse colon to descending colon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass transverse colon to descending colon 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 0D1L4JM

UNSPSC 85602445 Bypass transverse colon to descending colon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of occupational health surveillance, medical examination, and health benefit administration services—not the surgical procedure the code's clinical name suggests. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with gastrointestinal surgical procedures. Instead, issuing bodies are soliciting independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational health screening for ferry workers, specialty medical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing for hospital systems, and information from hospital entities providing youth detention healthcare. The mix of buyers includes city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, and municipalities, indicating the code has drifted into broader health services procurement rather than a specific surgical intervention.

Geographic activity appears centered in the West and South, with recent solicitations from Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington (WSDOT), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance covering 14 ferry system locations statewide, due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for a multi-category temporary health professional staffing pool, due October 7, 2026. The code's lack of focus on the surgical procedure in its title suggests a potential classification mismatch in the source data.
