UNSPSC 85602116: Dilation of descending colon with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of descending colon with intraluminal 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 0D7M0DZ

UNSPSC 85602116 Dilation of descending colon with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure with medical device application, but the most recent opportunities posted under this classification by state and local agencies involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve colorectal dilation or intraluminal devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or administrative assignment error rather than genuine procurement demand for the surgical procedure the code describes.

The six recorded opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System RFPs posted in August and July 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management with April 2026 deadline). Issuers include state transportation agencies, county health systems, city retirement boards, and county human resources divisions. None of these solicitations procure the surgical procedure or device class identified in the UNSPSC code descriptor, making the code unsuitable for business development targeting under its stated scope.
