UNSPSC 85601762: Dilation of descending 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 dilation of descending 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 0D7M8DZ

UNSPSC 85601762 (Dilation of descending colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local contract opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific gastrointestinal surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve colonoscopy or colonic dilation procedures. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement system or that the code is not actively used for its nominal scope in current public-sector contracting.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, with response dates between September 25, 2026 and October 9, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's procedural description and the substance of the work actually being solicited, this code does not reliably flag medical-device or procedure-specific procurement opportunities at the state and local level. Firms pursuing colonoscopy equipment, endoscopic instruments, or related dilation devices should monitor codes linked to medical equipment supply or surgical-instrument procurement rather than rely on this taxonomy entry.
