UNSPSC 85601039: Release ileocecal valve, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release ileocecal valve, 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 0DNC8ZZ

UNSPSC 85601039 Release ileocecal valve, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities on file show no alignment with this clinical specification. The opportunities posted under this code comprise inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management services, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve ileocecal valve procedures or endoscopic work. The code appears to have been misapplied to health care service procurement activity that falls outside the scope of the code's intended product or service definition, suggesting either a data-entry error in the opportunities or a systemic mismatch between the code used for indexing and the actual work being bought.

Because the recent opportunities do not reflect procurement activity under the true scope of UNSPSC 85601039, pursuing this code on the strength of the current posting pool is not viable. State and local procurement offices continue to issue health care service contracts — notably Muscogee County, Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government) for inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026; Collier County, Florida for pharmacy benefit management services with a deadline of April 9, 2026; and Monroe County, Florida for virtual primary and urgent care services due April 16, 2026 — but none require the procedural or clinical capabilities this code describes. Vendors with surgical or endoscopic capabilities should monitor procurement activity under health care service codes that actually govern those specialties, and avoid reliance on this code as a targeting filter given the current misalignment with posted opportunities.
