UNSPSC 85602050: Occlusion of descending colon with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of descending 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 0DLM0CZ

UNSPSC 85602050 Occlusion of descending colon with extraluminal device, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a medical procedure involving colonic occlusion, but the six most recent opportunities posted under this code across state and local jurisdictions do not align with the procedure's scope. Instead, the opportunities solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve colonic occlusion devices or the procedure described by the code.

The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data classification error. State and local procurement offices posting these opportunities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — are acquiring healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management services rather than implantable medical devices or surgical procedures. The issuing bodies span municipal retirement systems, employee benefits programs, state agencies, county detention authorities, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Without opportunities actually soliciting occlusion devices or open-approach colon procedures, the code presents no actionable procurement signals for business development focus at this time.
