UNSPSC 85601129: Destruction of cecum, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0D5H8ZZ

UNSPSC 85601129 Destruction of cecum, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that exhibits minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve cecal destruction procedures or endoscopic surgery; instead, they reflect occupational health services, medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical networks, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch suggests the code may be applied inconsistently by issuing bodies or that the taxonomy assignment does not reflect the operational scope of what is actually being bought.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunity set span state departments, county health systems and human resources divisions, city retirement offices, and special-purpose transit authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks physician-led examinations across 14 ferry system locations under a two-year term with five optional one-year renewals. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) calls for comprehensive disability medical record summaries and physician examinations supporting approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability applications under a five-year, $750,000 contract. The County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishes a five-year vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professionals across 13 clinical specialties. Collier County (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) procured pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 active employees and 4,800 dependents with historical annual spend near $8.7 million. These solicitations collectively indicate state and local procurement activity focused on health services administration, occupational medicine, and temporary clinical staffing rather than surgical procedures themselves.
