This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement ascending 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 0DUK7JZ

UNSPSC 85601639 Supplement ascending colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical-device scope does not match the six recent opportunities posted under this classification; those solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty and emergency care for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this UNSPSC classification is not the appropriate taxonomy match for the work being procured. None of the posted opportunities describe procurement of colon-supplement devices or related implantable or prosthetic products.

The recent opportunities span four states—Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County)—with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, city health benefit programs, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county health systems. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award pool). The code shows no relevant procurement activity for its stated product line.
