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 0DNN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85602217 Release sigmoid colon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it predominantly concern healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, peer support services, and medical direction — none of which align with the procedural scope the code names. The Muscogee County Prison RFP solicits comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services including sick call, chronic care management, and formulary oversight; Collier County seeks Pharmacy Benefit Management administration covering claims processing, specialty drug management, and formulary development; Monroe County procures Virtual Primary Care and 24/7 Urgent Care Services; San Mateo County requests Peer Support services for peer workers; and Santa Monica Fire Department seeks an EMS Medical Director. These opportunities reflect healthcare service contracting and benefits administration rather than surgical procedures. The issuing bodies span county governments and special-purpose health authorities across multiple states.

The geographic spread includes Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department), with no clear concentration in any region. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners RFP for Virtual Primary Care and 24/7 Urgent Care Services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026, with an effective date of October 1, 2026). The code's taxonomy assignment appears to be a classification mismatch; vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should expect healthcare operations, administration, and clinical services work rather than surgical procedures.
