UNSPSC 85601323: Reattachment of cecum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of 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 0DMH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85601323 Reattachment of cecum, open approach (Commodity) shows no alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code—and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The six recent opportunities soliciting under this code involve occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System), independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits management (City of Long Beach), and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). None involve reattachment of cecum or restorative colorectal surgery. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of medical services and benefits procurement under this surgical procedure code, or that state and local procurement systems are applying the code to broad medical services categories rather than to specific surgical interventions. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring reattachment of cecum procedures themselves; they are procuring medical administration, staffing, and benefit management services.

Activity appears concentrated among large urban counties and state health systems in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical benefit carve-out proposals due October 7, 2026 covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners is managing a pharmacy benefit management RFP covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing with an October 7, 2026 deadline. No meaningful procurement signal exists under this code for its stated surgical scope.
