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 0DLL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602051 Occlusion of transverse colon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it encompass independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the specific surgical intervention the code names. The mismatch suggests the code is either misconfigured in the source taxonomy or has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal health departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation and health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), reflecting a diverse mix of state and local administrative units. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual services solicited, pursuing opportunities under this code requires careful verification that individual postings genuinely address the surgical procedure named, rather than relying on the code assignment alone.
