UNSPSC 85601414: Occlusion of cecum with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of cecum with intraluminal device, percutaneous 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 0DLH3DZ

UNSPSC 85601414 Occlusion of cecum with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific medical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code bear no meaningful connection to it. The six opportunities in the block span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve cecal occlusion devices or percutaneous procedural intervention. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its procedural name.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities, or a divergence between the code's clinical definition and how jurisdictions are using it in practice. Bidders evaluating this code should verify the actual scope of work directly in each RFP rather than relying on the UNSPSC category label. The issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County), with no clear pattern connecting the diverse health service categories to the code's stated procedure. Geographic activity is scattered across California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Without a coherent alignment between the code definition and the work actually being solicited, the code presents material execution risk for firms relying on taxonomy alone to scope their pursuit strategy.
