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 0DQK3ZZ

UNSPSC 85602216 Repair ascending colon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The five recent opportunities identified—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—span healthcare administration, insurance management, behavioral health, and emergency medical services but do not involve repair of the ascending colon or any percutaneous medical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source system or that this code has been misapplied to opportunities whose core work lies outside its nominal scope.

The code shows little relevant recent activity when filtered to its stated commodity definition. State and local governments are actively soliciting healthcare services and management contracts across multiple jurisdictions—notably Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California)—but these contracts address administrative, preventive, and emergency care delivery rather than percutaneous repair procedures. For a business development professional evaluating whether to pursue opportunities under this code, the disconnect between the commodity code and posted opportunities signals that reliance on this code for targeted market research would be misleading.
