UNSPSC 85602028: Resection of ascending colon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of ascending colon, 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 0DTK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602028 Resection of ascending colon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical procedures or ascending colon resection. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems have misapplied to broader healthcare contracting, creating a fundamental mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the work being solicited.

Activity under this code spans multiple issuing bodies including county correctional systems, county health departments, county boards of commissioners, and municipal fire departments, primarily in Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services for behavioral health workers totaling $580,000 (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). The code classification does not meaningfully predict procurement intent or opportunity scope, and business development professionals should not rely on this code to identify relevant state and local contracting activity.
