UNSPSC 85602469: Bypass ascending colon to ascending 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 ascending 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 0D1K4JK

UNSPSC 85602469 Bypass ascending colon to ascending colon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code's technical medical nomenclature — describing a specific percutaneous endoscopic surgical procedure — does not align with the work actually being solicited by state and local government buyers in the recent posting block, which spans occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations represent health system administration, staffing coordination, and medical management services rather than a narrowly defined surgical technique. The code classification appears misaligned with actual procurement activity.

The recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), with geographic spread across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories. The code shows recent activity but little coherence between its stated scope and current procurement demand.
