UNSPSC 85602008: Restriction of transverse colon with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of transverse colon with intraluminal device, open approach. 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 0DVL0DZ

UNSPSC 85602008 Restriction of transverse colon with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect medical device procurement or surgical supply purchases aligned with the code's procedural scope. Instead, the sourced opportunities focus on occupational and disability medical evaluation services, Centers of Excellence surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve intraluminal colon-restriction devices or open surgical approaches. The code appears to be a misclassification in the state and local procurement system, and state and local governments show no identifiable recent activity purchasing the product or service the code nominally describes.

No actionable procurement activity is present under this code in the recent state and local contract-opportunities record. The sourced solicitations represent general healthcare administration, benefit management, and medical staffing rather than surgical devices or surgical procedure services. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and investigate whether vendors pursuing similar work are correctly tagged to alternative UNSPSC codes in the Healthcare Services or Medical Device families.
