UNSPSC 85604010: Bypass ileum to descending colon with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ileum to descending colon with synthetic substitute, open 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 0D1B0JM

UNSPSC 85604010 Bypass ileum to descending colon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose abstract definition—a specific surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve gastrointestinal bypass surgery or surgical implants. This mismatch suggests a classification error in the issuing bodies' tagging systems rather than active state and local procurement for the procedure itself. State and local jurisdictions are not soliciting surgical procedure kits, implantable devices, or related clinical supplies under this code at present.

The recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), and they span municipal human resources departments, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement theme and appears to represent a taxonomy misalignment rather than a usable category for business development purposes.
