UNSPSC 85601627: Supplement descending colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement descending colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, 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 0DUM7JZ

UNSPSC 85601627, Supplement descending colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing but do not involve synthetic esophageal substitutes, esophageal conduits, or related surgical reconstruction devices that the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either persistent miscategorization in state and local systems or dormant procurement activity under this specific device category.

The source provides no evidence of direct solicitation for esophageal replacement products or services under this code across the jurisdictions represented—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System. Buyers in this state and local sample are instead using adjacent or overlapping UNSPSC codes for medical services, staffing, and benefits management. Until recent opportunities show material procurement for synthetic esophageal conduits, esophageal reconstruction supplies, or related substitutes through state or local RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs, this code warrants close monitoring for recategorization corrections but represents minimal near-term pursuit opportunity.
