UNSPSC 85602214: Repair descending colon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair descending colon, percutaneous 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 0DQM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85602214 Repair descending colon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical medical procedure designation but shows no relevant recent state and local government procurement activity. The five recent opportunities tagged under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management services for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for a county workforce, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and a fire department medical director position—are administrative or operational healthcare contracting entirely unrelated to percutaneous descending colon repair procedures. The code appears to be a miscategorization or data-tagging error within the state and local procurement system, as none of the solicitations involve procurement of surgical interventions, medical devices, or procedural services matching the code's clinical scope.

State and local procurement activity under this code should not be pursued based on current evidence. The issuing bodies represented—Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California)—are soliciting administrative and workforce healthcare services, not medical procedures. No future procurement intent for percutaneous descending colon repair services or related surgical products is evident from the source material. Business development efforts should focus on UNSPSC codes aligned with the actual scope of work being bought by these jurisdictions, such as codes covering healthcare administration, employee health plan management, or emergency medical services support.
