This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement descending colon with nonautologous tissue 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 0DUM0KZ

UNSPSC 85602016 Supplement descending colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical implant procedure, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it bear no relationship to surgical tissue substitutes or orthopedic intervention. The opportunities posted under this code instead span jail and prison medical services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve tissue grafts or surgical implants. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to reflect a tagging mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity aligned with the code's stated scope.

The five most recent opportunities span three states: Georgia (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services, RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Florida (Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, and Monroe County Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services, RFP, due April 16, 2026), and California (San Mateo County peer support for peer workers, RFP 2025-007, and Santa Monica Fire Department medical director services). The issuing bodies include county health departments, county commissioners' procurement offices, and municipal fire departments. Given the absence of any solicitations for surgical supplies, implants, or tissue substitutes, this code does not appear to be an active procurement category for state and local governments and warrants deprioritization in business development targeting.
