UNSPSC 85601602: Restriction of sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0DVN8DZ

UNSPSC 85601602 Restriction of sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that exhibits a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a highly specific surgical procedure code — and the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code designation. The recent opportunities posted against this code do not involve sigmoid colon restriction procedures or endoscopic devices; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, specialty emergency services for detained youth, and independent medical examinations. This divergence suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems that assigned these opportunities to this UNSPSC code or a classification data quality issue that renders the code unreliable as a procurement signal in its current application.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissions, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026; maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spend (proposals were due April 9, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (proposals due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of actual sigmoid colon or endoscopic device procurement in the available recent activity, this code shows little relevant opportunity momentum for vendors whose business model centers on procedural devices or interventions matching its nominal scope.
