UNSPSC 85602062: Extirpation of matter from descending colon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from descending 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 0DCM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602062 Extirpation of matter from descending colon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity; the recent opportunities tagged under this code are unrelated to the code's medical procedure scope and instead reflect general health benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. The code's nominal descriptor refers to a specific surgical procedure, but the state and local solicitations indexed under it cover administrative and staffing services outside clinical procedure delivery — a significant mismatch between the code taxonomy and actual procurement intent.

No state and local opportunities reflecting procurement of colon procedure services or related surgical care were present in the recent solicitations block. The City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management services (258414, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) all address different segments of health administration or workforce delivery. The taxonomy-opportunity disconnect suggests either data-entry error in the indexing or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder. Firms targeting state and local procedural-service procurement should verify coding alignment through direct RFP review rather than rely on this code's recent-activity block as a purchase signal.
