UNSPSC 85601615: Restriction of ascending colon, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of ascending 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 0DVK7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601615 Restriction of ascending colon, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code's nominal medical procedure scope bears no relation to the six recent solicitations, which span independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing placement. State and local purchasing systems appear to have tagged these opportunities with this code in error; the medical evaluation and staffing activities underscore operational healthcare service delivery rather than a specific procedure code. No recent opportunities actually solicit for ascending colon restriction procedures or related clinical interventions aligned with the code's formal name.

The issuing bodies across the mistagged opportunities include state health and transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), and city government (City of Long Beach, City of Phoenix). Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Because the code shows no relevant recent procurement activity, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and instead monitor the specific service-category codes under which these health professional and pharmacy administrative services are actually being solicited.
