UNSPSC 85601732: Extirpation of matter from ascending colon, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from ascending 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 0DCK7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601732, Extirpation of matter from ascending colon via natural or artificial opening (Commodity), does not align with state and local procurement activity found in the source. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute extirpation procedures or gastrointestinal surgical intervention. The mismatch indicates that either the code has been misapplied by posting jurisdictions or the source data reflects a categorical tagging error rather than genuine procurement demand for the procedure the code describes.

The opportunities that do appear span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026, at $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026, based on approximately $8.7 million annual pharmacy spend), and Santa Clara County Health System (qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). No recent solicitations match the code's stated scope.
