UNSPSC 85602014: Supplement sigmoid colon with synthetic substitute, 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 0DUN0JZ

UNSPSC 85602014 Supplement sigmoid colon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management services for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services—involve healthcare administration, managed care, telemedicine platforms, and clinical governance rather than surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. The code's nominal scope (surgical substitution of the sigmoid colon using synthetic material) does not match the actual work state and local buyers are sourcing under this identifier.

The mismatch between code definition and procurement activity suggests either a classification error in how opportunities are being tagged by issuing bodies or a code that has been repurposed inconsistently across different jurisdictions. Buyers appearing in the recent record—Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California)—span four states and include county governments and municipal fire departments, but their activity centers on healthcare contracting, benefits administration, and clinical staffing rather than surgical supply or device procurement. Unless this code has been intentionally redirected to cover broader healthcare services procurement, activity under the nominal code definition does not appear in current state and local solicitations.
