UNSPSC 85601713: Occlusion of ascending colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of ascending colon, 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 0DLK8ZZ

UNSPSC 85601713 Occlusion of ascending colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work recently solicited by state and local governments under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit management carve-outs, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of endoscopic colon procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding on the source side or a data integrity issue; the code shows minimal relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing work in gastrointestinal endoscopy services to state and local health systems or public bodies.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 represent health benefits administration and occupational health services rather than clinical endoscopy. The Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit management (due October 7, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending (due April 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across thirteen clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). No state-level or multi-jurisdictional pattern emerges. The code does not surface actionable procurement interest in endoscopic services.
