UNSPSC 85602064: Extirpation of matter from ascending colon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from ascending 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 0DCK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602064 Extirpation of matter from ascending colon, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not align with its medical-procedure scope. The code shows no relevant recent activity — the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health-profession staffing, and youth detention medical services, none of which involve the specific colorectal surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or an artifact of how issuing bodies classify health-care service procurements.

No business development activity under this code's actual scope is supported by the source material. Vendors should verify whether state and local procurement offices in their target markets use this code as intended or whether health-care service categories in those jurisdictions map to broader family or class codes instead.
