UNSPSC 85602467: Bypass ascending 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 ascending 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 0D1K4JM

UNSPSC 85602467 Bypass ascending colon to descending colon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title bears no relationship to the state and local opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations instead reflect procurement of occupational health services, disability and independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's stated medical device or procedure classification. State and local buyers posting under this code are acquiring medical surveillance examinations, occupational health baseline and periodic evaluations, independent disability medical record review and coordination services, and temporary clinical and ancillary staffing to support health system operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county human resources and pension boards (Phoenix Retirement Office on behalf of Fire and Police Pension Boards, Collier County), city employee benefits offices (Long Beach), and county juvenile detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). The code shows persistent tagging misalignment — the commodity classification does not map to the services actually being procured.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) to support disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with options to extend); and the Santa Clara County Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work volume). A pre-bid conference for the WSDOT opportunity is scheduled August 31, 2026. Because the code's actual recent procurement activity diverges sharply from its nominal scope, pursue this code only if your firm delivers occupational health services, independent medical evaluations, or temporary clinical staffing to state and local health systems and pension boards — not device or procedure substitutes.
