UNSPSC 85601034: Repair ileocecal valve, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair ileocecal valve, 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 0DQC7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601034 Repair ileocecal valve, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual state and local procurement activity appearing in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the digestive system; however, the recent opportunities tagged under this code are solicitations for comprehensive healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support programs, and medical director positions—none of which involve ileocecal valve repair or surgical intervention. State and local procurement offices have applied this code to a broad range of health and human services contracts that fall outside the code's narrow clinical scope, suggesting either a data-entry error across multiple jurisdictions or a systematic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how certain states and counties classify healthcare service procurements.

The most recent opportunities under this code show no relevant activity for vendors specializing in surgical services or digestive-system medical devices. Issuing bodies include county and municipal health departments, county boards of commissioners, and county human services divisions across Florida, Georgia, and California; these agencies are procuring ongoing operational healthcare contracts rather than clinical procedures. Geographic spread includes Columbus–Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California). Because the code shows no recent state and local solicitations for the work it nominally describes, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement opportunity for vendors in surgical repair or related device and supply categories.
