UNSPSC 85604021: Bypass jejunum to sigmoid colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass jejunum to sigmoid colon with nonautologous 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 0D1A0KN

UNSPSC 85604021 Bypass jejunum to sigmoid colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs through Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which constitute the surgical procedure the code names. This mismatch signals either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems tagging these opportunities or a systematic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the jurisdictions' implementation of it.

The six recent opportunities sourced under this code originate from geographically dispersed jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). These are predominantly local government administrative and health-system functions rather than surgical services procurement. Without verifiable recent opportunities actually soliciting the surgical procedure the code describes, the code shows no relevant current activity for vendors in that service line.
