UNSPSC 85602446: Bypass transverse colon to transverse 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 transverse 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 0D1L4JL

UNSPSC 85602446 Bypass transverse colon to transverse colon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little relevance to the procedure itself. Instead, the opportunities cover a diverse mix of health services procurement—independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's stated surgical scope. This mismatch suggests the code is being applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies, or that the code in the taxonomy does not reflect actual state and local buying patterns in this space.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response deadline of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) solicited proposals for a surgical benefit carve-out program with anticipated contract execution by April 1, 2027; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited pharmacy benefit management services with a response deadline of April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) issued an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties, due October 7, 2026. Given the procedural specificity of the code title and the operational diversity of the posted opportunities, pursuit under this code should be evaluated against the actual scope of work needed rather than the code's nominal description.
