UNSPSC 85601336: Excision of cecum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 0DBH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85601336 Excision of cecum, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally refers to a surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities show no activity aligned with this clinical taxonomy entry. The opportunities posted under this code span healthcare administration and service delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical procedures or operative care.

The geographic spread of these opportunities is limited and dispersed: Columbus-area (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California). Issuing bodies include county commissions, health departments, and municipal fire departments. No pattern of repeat procurement activity under this code is evident from the recent opportunities block. The mismatch between the code's stated surgical scope and the healthcare administrative work actually tagged to it suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity for contractors pursuing operative or procedural services; the opportunities listed appear to reflect a data classification error rather than genuine procurement demand in this commodity category.
