This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition ascending colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0DSK8ZZ

UNSPSC 85601655 Reposition ascending colon via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not map cleanly to the recent state and local procurement activity bearing this code designation. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure — endoscopic repositioning of an ascending colonic structure — yet the recent solicitations tagged under it span inmate healthcare management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary care delivery, peer mental health support services, and emergency medical directorship. The opportunities involve comprehensive healthcare service delivery and program management rather than discrete procedural or pharmaceutical products.

State and local healthcare buyers — county correctional and human resources divisions, behavioral health agencies, county boards of commissioners, and fire departments — are using this code to solicit medical service contracts, vendor management arrangements, and clinical oversight roles. The geographic activity centers on Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government on behalf of Muscogee County Prison), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with representative recent solicitations including Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026 (responding vendors must demonstrate five years' experience at comparable-sized correctional facilities and NCCHC accreditation); Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services due April 9, 2026 covering approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million; Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services due April 16, 2026 structured as an all-inclusive Per Employee Per Month rate; and San Mateo County's RFP 2025-007 for peer support services for mental health peer workers funded at $580,000 total. The code shows material recent activity but its application to these opportunities does not reflect the code's stated procedural scope.
