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 0DLM7DZ

UNSPSC 85601708 Occlusion of descending colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal alignment to actual buying activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span medical surveillance, occupational health examinations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-outs — none of which involve colon occlusion devices or procedures. The code mismatch suggests either systematic miscategorization in the posting systems or opportunistic tagging by issuing bodies seeking visibility across broader medical-services taxonomy. No state or local solicitations in the recent block are purchasing the medical device or procedure the code nominally describes.

The few opportunities posted under this code originate from health-sector employers and public agencies (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) and span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the code shows no recent activity aligned to its stated scope, pursuing vendors should verify with individual issuing bodies whether the code assignment reflects the actual procurement or represents a data-quality issue before committing business-development resources.
