UNSPSC 85602113: Dilation of sigmoid colon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of sigmoid 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 0D7N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602113 Dilation of sigmoid colon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities in the source are unrelated to the code's medical procedure description: they include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and medical director services for a fire department. None of these solicitations involve sigmoid colon dilation procedures or surgical interventions of any kind. The code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local contracting.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code nomenclature and actual buying activity suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code is used incorrectly to classify healthcare services contracts that do not involve the surgical procedure the code nominates. State and local procurement professionals evaluating opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope of work directly from the solicitation documents rather than relying on the code descriptor alone, as the posting system does not appear to be categorizing healthcare administration and management services accurately under this particular Commodity code.
