UNSPSC 85594741: Occlusion of jejunum, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of jejunum, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0DLA7ZZ

UNSPSC 85594741 Occlusion of jejunum, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code. The code nominally designates a medical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with its stated scope. The opportunities posted under 85594741 span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve jejunal occlusion or gastrointestinal intervention. The issuing bodies include a state transportation department, a state health system, county governments, and municipalities. This mismatch between the code's nominal content and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing offices or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services that do not fit narrower clinical procedure codes.

The recent opportunities show activity across four states: Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026); California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs, due October 7, 2026, and County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026); Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026); and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for specialty and emergency medical services, due September 25, 2026). The opportunities reflect state and local investment in benefits administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical workforce augmentation rather than procedural medical care. Bidders should verify code alignment with issuing offices before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85594741, as the posting pattern suggests that code accuracy may not be reliable for scope interpretation.
