UNSPSC 85604012: Bypass ileum to ascending colon with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ileum to ascending 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 0D1B0JK

UNSPSC 85604012 Bypass ileum to ascending colon with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which directly align with the procurement or supply of this particular surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities or limited genuine procurement activity matching the code's specific scope.

Among the six recent opportunities tagged to this code, activity spans diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefit design for employee health plans), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing). Jurisdictions include municipal pension boards, state transportation agencies, county human resources and health departments, and county juvenile justice authorities across Florida, California, Washington, Texas, and Arizona. The recent opportunities demonstrate procurement of healthcare administration and staffing services rather than surgical supplies or procedures, indicating this code may not be an active area for business development focused on the actual surgical intervention it nominally describes.
