UNSPSC 85601658: Repair sigmoid 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 0DQN7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601658 Repair sigmoid colon, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these solicitations involve repair of the sigmoid colon or colorectal surgical procedures; the code assignment appears to reflect a data-classification error rather than the actual scope of work being procured.

State and local governments do not use this code to purchase gastrointestinal surgical repair services. The recent opportunities under this classification involve health plan administration, behavioral health support, and medical direction services for emergency response — work unrelated to the colorectal repair procedure the code nominally describes. No relevant activity supports business development pursuit under this code for state and local procurement.
