UNSPSC 85602056: Occlusion of ascending colon with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of ascending 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 0DLK0CZ

UNSPSC 85602056 Occlusion of ascending colon with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a medical procedure for colonic obstruction — does not align with the six recent opportunities posted under this code designation. Those solicitations instead cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve colonic occlusion procedures or extraluminal devices, suggesting either a tagging error in the state and local procurement database or administrative misclassification of opportunities at the source.

The mismatch between code name and actual solicitation scope indicates that this Commodity code does not represent a reliable procurement stream for vendors in medical device or gastroenterologic procedure markets. State and local buyers issuing under this code — 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 Santa Clara County Health System — are sourcing health plan administration, occupational health services, and clinical staffing rather than surgical devices or interventional procedures. Practitioners should treat this code as inactive for its stated commodity and investigate the correct UNSPSC classifications for the health services categories that the recent opportunities actually represent.
