UNSPSC 85602036: Repair 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 0DQK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602036 Repair ascending colon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The source records show no solicitations for surgical repair of the ascending colon; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect comprehensive healthcare service contracts including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) and the healthcare administration and service delivery work actually being bought suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement system or that this code has drifted from its intended use.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—a county consolidation government (Muscogee County, Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), a county health department (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California)—with activity concentrated in Florida, Georgia, and California as of early 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (response due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees (response due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (response due April 16, 2026). None of these opportunities involve surgical procedures; all focus on administrative healthcare contracting, managed care services, or clinical support roles. The code appears to lack meaningful recent activity aligned with its stated scope.
