UNSPSC 85602462: Bypass ascending colon to transverse colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ascending colon to transverse colon with nonautologous 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 0D1K4KL

UNSPSC 85602462, Bypass ascending colon to transverse colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the solicitations tagged to it cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the procedure named in the code. State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these opportunities; the code itself shows little relevant recent activity.

The mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope renders this code unsuitable for business development targeting under its stated classification. Firms interested in state and local health services procurement should monitor opportunities through issuing-body-specific channels and secondary classification methods rather than relying on this code's taxonomy alignment. The opportunities posted include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluations (RFP, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach seeking surgical benefit carve-out programs (RFP, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance (RFP, due October 9, 2026), but none of these warrant classification under a code describing a specific surgical bypass procedure.
