UNSPSC 85602044: Reattachment of ascending colon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment 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 0DMK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602044 Reattachment of ascending colon, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal surgical scope does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code shows no relevant recent activity — the six most recent opportunities posted between July and October 2026 span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent disability medical evaluations (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), surgical benefit carve-out program management (Long Beach), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve ascending colon reattachment or related surgical procedures.

The mismatch between the code's procedural surgical designation and the administrative and occupational health services actually being procured suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or a structural misalignment between UNSPSC surgical commodity codes and how state and local health authorities classify non-procedural medical contracting. For vendors evaluating pursuit under this code, the recent opportunity records do not support forward-looking activity in the clinical area the code nominally represents.
