UNSPSC 85601347: Dilation of ileocecal valve with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of ileocecal valve with intraluminal device, 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 0D7C0DZ

UNSPSC 85601347 Dilation of ileocecal valve with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code shows no alignment with that medical intervention. The recent opportunities block contains six solicitations spanning independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, health professional staffing, surgical benefit programs, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve ileocecal valve dilation or the specific intraluminal device procedure the code describes. This misalignment suggests the code is being applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies, rendering the code unreliable as a predictive signal for procurement opportunities in this specific procedure line.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies ranging from city retirement offices and county health systems to state transportation departments. Because the recent opportunities do not reflect the actual code scope, pursuit decisions should not rest on this code's classification alone. Business development professionals evaluating medical device, surgical procedure, or healthcare provider categories should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit.
