UNSPSC 85601041: Occlusion of cecum, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of cecum, 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 0DLH8ZZ

UNSPSC 85601041 Occlusion of cecum, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows no material alignment between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code's name refers to a specific endoscopic intervention, yet the opportunities actually being solicited—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve cecal occlusion procedures or endoscopy. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement system or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for broader healthcare service categories without precision alignment to the commodity name.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code span multiple public-sector classifications: county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries). Recent activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Given the absence of genuine endoscopic-procedure procurement and the diversity of healthcare services incorrectly mapped to this code, vendors pursuing state and local opportunities in occupational health, employee benefits, detention health services, or healthcare staffing should not rely on this UNSPSC code for accurate opportunity identification—direct monitoring of individual agency procurement portals and healthcare-focused cooperative purchasing vehicles will yield more reliable results.
