UNSPSC 85602019: Supplement transverse colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement transverse 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 0DUL0KZ

UNSPSC 85602019 Supplement transverse colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local contract opportunities in the procurement record. The code describes a surgical procedure — colonic reconstruction using non-autologous tissue in an open surgical setting — but the available recent opportunities solicited under this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and a fire department medical director position. None of these opportunities involve surgical procedures, tissue substitutes, or colonic surgery. The mismatch suggests either tagging error by the issuing bodies or that UNSPSC 85602019 has not been used by state and local procurement offices for its intended medical purpose in the recent opportunities dataset.

The code shows no meaningful activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. Practitioners evaluating this code for business development purposes should verify with target jurisdictions whether surgical procedures or tissue substitutes are actually being procured under this or related UNSPSC codes, or whether opportunities in this clinical domain are tagged under different taxonomy entries.
