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 0DSN7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601650 Reposition sigmoid colon, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The five most recently posted state and local opportunities tagged to this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County, Georgia), pharmacy benefit management services (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for peer workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica, California)—represent administrative healthcare contracting, behavioral health support, and EMS medical oversight, not surgical or procedural repositioning services. The code's nominal clinical specificity (sigmoid colon repositioning via natural or artificial opening) does not match the scope of work actually being procured under it in state and local markets.

The mismatch between the code's name and the work being solicited suggests either a data-tagging error in the procurement system or that this Commodity code is being used as a catch-all for broader healthcare services that do not fit into the taxonomy's procedural categories. Issuers posting under this code span county health systems, county boards of commissioners, county behavioral health departments, and municipal fire departments across Georgia, Florida, California, and other states, but none of the posted opportunities involve surgical or procedural services that would naturally fall under sigmoid colon repositioning. If you are evaluating opportunities under this code, verify the actual scope of work in each solicitation document rather than relying on the code assignment alone, as the taxonomy label appears to have limited predictive value for state and local procurement in this category.
