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 0DSBXZZ

UNSPSC 85593710 Reposition ileum, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no solicitations for surgical services, medical procedures, or related clinical interventions. The opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broad healthcare procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director positions. None of these activities align with the code's stated surgical procedure. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data quality issue in how opportunities were tagged to the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The geographic spread of the four recent opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government for Muscogee County Prison), and California (San Mateo County). Given the lack of alignment between the code definition and the work actually being solicited, pursuit under this code is not recommended. Business development professionals should flag this code as showing little relevant recent activity and verify the correct UNSPSC assignment for healthcare administration and service delivery work through their state and local procurement offices before investing bid preparation effort.
