UNSPSC 85601316: Reposition cecum, open approach

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 0DSH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85601316 Reposition cecum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The five most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for peer workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures or gastrointestinal repositioning work; they instead span correctional healthcare contracting, employee health plan administration, telehealth platform services, behavioral health support, and emergency medical services direction. The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure title and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding on the issuing bodies' end or that the code repository does not reflect state and local procurement patterns for this medical service line.

Given the absence of relevant recent opportunities, this code does not represent active procurement activity for vendors supplying surgical or procedural services to state and local buyers. The opportunities present indicate that state and local government healthcare contracting—when it occurs—flows through broader health plan administration, correctional healthcare, and emergency services oversight rather than through discrete surgical-procedure codes. Business development professionals should verify whether their surgical service offerings are coded correctly in state and local procurement systems and consider whether alternative UNSPSC families better capture their contracting opportunities.
