UNSPSC 85601714: Occlusion of ascending 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 ascending 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 0DLK8DZ

UNSPSC 85601714 Occlusion of ascending colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a surgical procedure code drawn from medical classification systems. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of colon occlusion devices or related procedural supplies. Instead, the opportunities capture health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles, and disability medical evaluation services—none of which align with the code's stated medical device or procedure intent. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health benefit administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara). This mismatch between the code's procedural nomenclature and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding on the part of issuing jurisdictions or that the code is being applied to capture broader health services contracting outside its device-specific scope.

The recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years for disability medical record summaries and physician examinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (RFP 25-8414, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million); and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the systematic disconnect between the code name and actual procurement content across multiple jurisdictions and states, the code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing work aligned with its stated medical device or procedural intent.
