UNSPSC 85602454: Bypass ascending colon to sigmoid colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ascending colon to sigmoid 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 0D1K4ZN

UNSPSC 85602454 Bypass ascending colon to sigmoid colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific medical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the procedure name. The six recent opportunities—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent general healthcare administration and staffing services rather than colonoscopy or gastroenterological procedures. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to these solicitations or serves as a placeholder tag in the procurement system. The issuing bodies span diverse public entities: Phoenix municipal retirement boards, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. None of the recent opportunities represent actual procurement for the bypass procedure named in the code.

The geographic distribution reflects sporadic activity across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the Collier County RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending around $8.7 million and a three-year initial term. No recent opportunities actually solicit the procedure described in the code's name. Pursuit under this code appears unwarranted unless the mismatch reflects a system-wide tagging error affecting all medical procedure codes.
