UNSPSC 85601628: Supplement descending colon via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue 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 autologous tissue 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 0DUM77Z

UNSPSC 85601628 Supplement descending colon via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening (Commodity) shows no active state and local procurement under its nominal scope; recent opportunities tagged with this code reflect occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit administration rather than tissue-substitute implants or related surgical materials.

The mismatch between the code's medical-device classification and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic mistagging in the source data or that this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local contracting patterns. Geographic diversity is present across the identified opportunities—Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Cities of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County)—but the work being solicited (independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, specialty pharmacy networks, youth detention healthcare coordination, and temporary clinical staffing) bears no relationship to the tissue-substitute product line the code nominally describes. Until state and local procurement systems apply this code to its intended scope, activity under UNSPSC 85601628 will remain opaque to vendors pursuing implant materials or related surgical consumables.
