UNSPSC 85593950: Dilation of ileum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of ileum, 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 0D7B0ZZ

UNSPSC 85593950 Dilation of ileum, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure (dilation of the ileum via open surgical approach), yet the five recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical procedures or ileal dilation. The mismatch suggests a classification error in how these opportunities were tagged in the source data. State and local governments do procure healthcare services broadly, but the tagged opportunities under this code reflect administrative, clinical, and support services rather than the specific surgical intervention the code describes.

No recent state and local procurement activity aligns with the actual scope of UNSPSC 85593950. The opportunities listed—issued by Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California)—involve management, delivery, and support of healthcare programs, not surgical procedures. Unless the code has been systematically misapplied across multiple jurisdictions, firms pursuing surgical or procedure-specific healthcare contracting should verify that opportunities are tagged correctly before investing in bid response.
