UNSPSC 85601118: Drainage of ileocecal valve via natural or artificial opening drainage device, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of ileocecal valve via natural or artificial opening drainage device, 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 0D9C70Z

UNSPSC 85601118 Drainage of ileocecal valve via natural or artificial opening drainage device, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which relate to the code's nominal scope of gastrointestinal medical devices or procedures. The mismatch between the code's medical-device definition and the human-services contracting actually appearing in the records indicates either a systematic tagging error in state procurement systems or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions classify health services purchasing.

The geographic spread of recorded activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (state Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), reflecting multi-state solicitation across city, county, and special-district health systems. No coherent procurement pattern or repeat issuing bodies emerge from the records under this code; the opportunities appear to be incorrectly classified rather than genuinely related to the ileocecal valve drainage scope. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities in occupational health, disability medical services, healthcare staffing, or pharmacy benefit administration, as the current code assignment does not reliably identify this work.
