UNSPSC 85601706: Occlusion of descending colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of descending colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, 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 0DLM8DZ

UNSPSC 85601706, Occlusion of descending colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency inpatient hospital services—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of colorectal procedural intervention. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems that tagged these opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy as applied and actual procurement activity in this space.

The geographic distribution of the source opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration pattern. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the procedural service it nominally describes.
