UNSPSC 85601611: Restriction of transverse colon, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of transverse 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 0DVL7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601611 Restriction of transverse colon, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not correspond to any of the recent state and local contract opportunities in the source material. The code nominally describes a medical procedure, yet the solicitations posted under this code in recent months cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve restriction of the transverse colon or procedural interventions of that clinical specificity. The mismatch indicates either a data-tagging error or a systematic divergence between the code's procedural definition and how state and local procurement offices actually apply it.

Because the source shows no genuine opportunities aligned with the procedural scope of UNSPSC 85601611, the code does not merit pursuit based on current state and local activity. Issuers across multiple jurisdictions—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—are actively soliciting under this code number, but their actual procurement intent centers on health system administration, occupational health compliance, staffing, and benefits management rather than gastrointestinal surgical procedures. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code alignment for their service line before investing in pursuit under this classification.
