UNSPSC 85601111: Drainage of cecum, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 0D9H8ZZ

UNSPSC 85601111 Drainage of cecum, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows a substantial mismatch between its clinical procedure descriptor and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific endoscopic surgical technique — does not align with the recent solicitations posted under it, which encompass independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for PPO plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing pools across ancillary clinical categories. None of these represent drainage procedures or endoscopic interventions. The issuing bodies are diverse: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation systems (Harris County), county health systems and benefits consortia (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county personnel or benefits divisions. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated procedure.

Geographic spread is limited and scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington based on the posted opportunities, reflecting no concentrated procurement region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year contract maximum of $750,000, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a two-year term and optional extension, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories due October 7, 2026. The taxonomy coding appears to reflect administrative error or overly broad system classification rather than intentional procurement activity under the endoscopic drainage code.
