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 0DQL7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601662 Repair transverse colon, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally refers to a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent solicitations in the source record procurement of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve repair of the transverse colon or match the code's intended scope. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with the code in error, likely due to a system miscategorization or misclassified default.

The source provides no evidence of actual state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. Buyers include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none of their recent solicitations concern the procedure named in the code. Without verifiable activity under the code's intended taxonomy, this category does not present a meaningful business development opportunity.
