UNSPSC 85601646: Resection of transverse colon, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection 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 0DTL7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601646 Resection of transverse colon, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual scope of state and local procurement activity now being solicited under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code describe independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve surgical resection of the transverse colon or any surgical procedure. The mismatch suggests either a misclassification in the originating procurement system or that this code is not the appropriate taxonomy designation for the work being advertised. State and local procurement offices issuing under this code include municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal health systems (City of Long Beach).

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction appearing more than once in the available opportunities. A pre-bid conference for the Washington State Ferries occupational surveillance RFP is scheduled for August 31, 2026, with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation is due October 16, 2026 with written inquiries due September 29, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is accepting proposals for temporary health professional staffing through October 7, 2026. The code shows activity across diverse issuing bodies and geographies, but the absence of any recent opportunities actually soliciting surgical procedures or related services indicates that this code's current application does not reflect its nominal commodity definition.
