UNSPSC 85600000: Surgical interventions or procedures of the gastrointestinal system: the lower digestive system

This family of surgical interventions or procedures is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS as code 0D Gastrointestinal System with a focus on the lower digestive system.

UNSPSC 85600000 Surgical interventions or procedures of the gastrointestinal system: the lower digestive system is a Family code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The actual opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits for public employees — none of which involve gastrointestinal surgical procedures or lower digestive system interventions. The mismatch suggests either misclassification at the time of posting or a data-tagging anomaly in the source system. State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The geographic spread of the misclassified opportunities includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies comprising city retirement systems, county health departments, county commissioners' offices, state transportation departments, and county health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026).
