UNSPSC 85601607: Restriction of descending colon, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of descending colon, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0DVM7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601607 Restriction of descending colon via natural or artificial opening, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve restriction of the descending colon or any gastrointestinal intervention. The code itself describes a specific medical procedure, but the opportunities on record reflect broad health services procurement across multiple specialties and administrative functions. State and local issuers appear to have mislabeled these solicitations within the UNSPSC taxonomy, or the code assignment does not reflect the actual scope of work being purchased.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city government employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Since the opportunities are unrelated to the nominal code scope, pursuit decisions should be based on the actual service categories being solicited rather than the UNSPSC code designation itself. Bidders interested in health services, staffing, pharmacy administration, or occupational medicine should track these issuers' solicitations directly rather than monitoring this code.
