UNSPSC 85601707: Occlusion of descending colon, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of descending 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 0DLM7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601707 Occlusion of descending colon via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure, yet the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 address medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve colonic occlusion procedures or related gastroenterological interventions at the line-item level. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to these solicitations or reflects a cataloging anomaly within the issuing bodies' procurement systems.

The recent opportunities span state agencies, county governments, and municipalities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Collier County Board of Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out networks), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, and Washington State. Without evidence of solicitations actually procuring colonic occlusion services or related procedures under this code, the Commodity code shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement.
