UNSPSC 85602449: Bypass transverse colon to sigmoid colon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass transverse colon to sigmoid colon with autologous 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 0D1L47N

UNSPSC 85602449, Bypass transverse colon to sigmoid colon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under this code do not align with that clinical description. Instead, state and local bodies have posted solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and other administrative or staffing health services that do not constitute the procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's technical definition and actual procurement posted suggests either a coding error in the source data or that this code is not the appropriate taxonomy tier for the health services state and local governments are actively buying.

Given the disconnect, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement opportunity for vendors in state and local markets. Recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Collier County, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), but the services being solicited—medical record summarization, pension disability evaluations, PBM administration, occupational health screening, and temporary clinical staffing—are unrelated to the specific procedure this code nominally represents. Firms pursuing state and local health-services work should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for their service lines rather than rely on this code's tagging.
