UNSPSC 85602022: Supplement ascending colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement ascending 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 0DUK0KZ

UNSPSC 85602022 Supplement ascending colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving tissue grafting to the colon, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care carve-out networks for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve tissue-substitute surgical procedures. The mismatch appears to be a classification error in the source records rather than a meaningful market signal. No state or local opportunities in the source are actually soliciting for the procedure the code describes.

The recent opportunities do show that state and local health benefit procurement, occupational health services, and medical staffing are active across multiple jurisdictions — including Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (state ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County) — but these activities fall under different UNSPSC codes appropriate to their service lines (employee health plan administration, occupational medicine, staffing, and acute care delivery) rather than under this surgical-procedure code. No representative opportunities under the correct code are present in the source.
