UNSPSC 85602047: Occlusion of sigmoid colon with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of sigmoid colon with extraluminal device, 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 0DLN0CZ

UNSPSC 85602047, Occlusion of sigmoid colon with extraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for medical devices, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect healthcare services procurement — disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve sigmoid colon occlusion devices or the implantation procedures the code nominally covers. State and local governments appear to be applying this code to general healthcare administration and staffing rather than to the narrow medical device or surgical service it names, creating a significant mismatch between code definition and actual buying activity.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county procurement on behalf of health consortia (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Recent activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), and the Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (historically $8.7 million annually). The code shows no recent opportunities that genuinely involve sigmoid colon occlusion devices or related surgical instrumentation.
