UNSPSC 85602034: Repair descending colon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair descending 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 0DQM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602034 Repair descending colon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with that clinical scope. The five recent solicitations include comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management services for a county health consortium covering approximately 7,200 employees and dependents, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for peer workers in a behavioral health system, and fire department medical director services. The code sees activity from county departments, county health departments, and specialized county agencies (behavioral health services, fire departments), though the opportunities posted under it diverge substantially from the surgical repair taxonomy the code's name suggests.

Activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County and Monroe County) and Georgia (Muscogee County), with additional solicitation from San Mateo County, California, and Santa Monica, California. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison covering 576 offenders with existing monthly cost of $95,537.71; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million; and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services covering approximately 2,300 county members. The code's recent posting activity suggests misclassification of healthcare service opportunities under a surgical repair taxonomy rather than procurement related to the code's nominal scope.
