This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from cecum, 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 0DCH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85601422, Extirpation of matter from cecum, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code with no meaningful alignment to actual state and local procurement activity captured in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure — percutaneous removal of matter from the cecum — but recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical Center of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical care. None of these solicitations involve the procedure named in the code, and the mismatch suggests either a taxonomy application error in state and local procurement systems or that this code has been repurposed across unrelated health services without meaningful coherence to its original descriptor.

The issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County, Harris County, County of Santa Clara), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional authorities (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West (Arizona, Florida, California, Washington), with no clear repeat buyers under this specific code tier across the small sample. Because the recent opportunities do not represent procurement of the procedure the code nominally describes, this code presents limited decision relevance for business development professionals targeting gastrointestinal or procedural medical services. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare contracting should verify code assignment in any RFP matching this eight-digit code before committing proposal resources.
