UNSPSC 85604016: Bypass ileum to ascending colon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ileum to ascending colon with autologous tissue 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 0D1B07K

UNSPSC 85604016, Bypass ileum to ascending colon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification actually solicit medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve the procedural surgery the code nominates. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with a medical-procedure code when the underlying work is administrative, staffing, or benefit-management in nature.

No state and local solicitations in the recent-opportunities block actually procure bypass-ileum procedures or related surgical services. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification issue in the source or a fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and how state and local purchasing offices are currently using it. Practitioners evaluating whether to pursue work under this code should verify the actual commodity or service classification before committing bid resources, as recent activity does not support a coherent market opportunity aligned with the code's name.
