This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ileum to descending colon via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0D1B8KM

UNSPSC 85603906 Bypass ileum to descending colon via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The solicitations tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than gastrointestinal surgical procedures. State and local governments are not currently soliciting this specific surgical intervention through their procurement channels; the code appears to be a misapplication by issuing bodies using broader healthcare taxonomy terminology in their notice systems.

The mismatch suggests that this Commodity code, which describes a narrow surgical procedural outcome, is not actively purchased by state and local governments through open procurement. The recent opportunities show issuing bodies spanning city retirement offices, municipalities, state transportation agencies, county juvenile detention systems, county human resources departments, and county health systems—a broad cross-section of administrative and clinical healthcare buyers—but none are soliciting the procedure itself. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and focus instead on the higher-tier Family or Class codes under which administrative healthcare services and benefits management are actually being bought.
