UNSPSC 85602102: Excision of descending colon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0DBM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602102 Excision of descending colon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical excision. State and local governments are not soliciting this procedure under the code; the tagging appears to reflect a classification mismatch rather than a genuine procurement category for excision of descending colon.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including county commissions (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), spanning Georgia, Florida, and California. No geographic concentration or repeat buyers emerge from the limited recent activity. Given the procedural mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the health services, benefits administration, and behavioral health work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a viable procurement category for business development purposes in state and local markets.
