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. 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 0DLK7DZ

UNSPSC 85601716 Occlusion of ascending colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with no meaningful state and local procurement activity that aligns with its clinical taxonomy designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty care for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative healthcare services, human resources contracting, and staffing support rather than gastroenterological medical devices or surgical procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical intervention (colonic occlusion via intraluminal device), yet the opportunities actually being solicited cover pension medical evaluations, benefits administration, occupational health compliance, and staffing augmentation.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect a coherent product or service family. The tagged opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—and span entirely different procurement domains. No pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges because the opportunities represent administrative and staffing contracting rather than procurement aligned with the code's clinical device classification. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify coding accuracy before committing resources to opportunities tagged under it.
