UNSPSC 85601009: Supplement cecum via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement cecum via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0DUH8KZ

UNSPSC 85601009 Supplement cecum via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that describes a specific gastrointestinal surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect actual purchase of that procedure or related surgical supplies. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical benefits administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with cecal supplementation or endoscopic procedures. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than a meaningful taxonomy category for active commodity purchasing. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, counties, state transportation departments, health systems, and juvenile probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington.

The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the solicitations tagged under it suggests that state and local procurement offices may be applying this UNSPSC designation incorrectly or that the opportunities have been miscategorized in the source data. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability pension determinations for approximately 75 annual applications with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of any actual gastrointestinal surgical procedure procurement or equipment purchase in the recent record, this code shows little decision relevance for vendors pursuing state and local medical device or surgical supply contracts.
