UNSPSC 85601058: Extirpation of matter from ileocecal valve, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0DCC7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601058 Extirpation of matter from ileocecal valve, via natural or artificial opening (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The six opportunities on record span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve removal of matter from the ileocecal valve or gastroenterological procedures. The code designation appears misaligned with the actual purchasing activity, suggesting either a systematic tagging error or a narrow clinical procedure that state and local procurement offices do not actively solicit through open competition.

Opportunities are distributed across state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and administrative bodies (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipal pension and benefits offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). No pattern of repeat buying under this code or clear geographic concentration emerges from the record. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the recent solicitation activity, this code does not represent a viable pursuit area for vendors in gastrointestinal surgical services or related specialties.
