This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of descending 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 0D7M7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601763 Dilation of descending colon, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a specific gastrointestinal medical procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect administrative healthcare services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve gastrointestinal dilation procedures. The mismatch suggests either an indexing error in the source data or a misalignment between the UNSPSC categorization and the work being solicited.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span five distinct issuing bodies and service categories: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic coverage includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No recent opportunities reflect the gastrointestinal procedure scope implied by the code name, and the heterogeneous nature of the opportunities—spanning retirement administration, employee benefits, occupational health, detention medicine, pharmacy services, and clinical staffing—indicates the code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for vendors focused on medical procedures or related clinical services.
