UNSPSC 85602223: Occlusion of sigmoid colon with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of sigmoid colon with extraluminal device, 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 0DLN3CZ

UNSPSC 85602223 Occlusion of sigmoid colon with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a medical device implantation procedure; however, the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve sigmoid colon occlusion devices or percutaneous approaches to that procedure. The code appears to have been incorrectly applied to health services and benefits administration contracts rather than medical device procurement or implantation services.

No procurement activity directly aligned with the code's stated scope—acquisition of sigmoid colon occlusion devices or related procedural services—appears in the recent opportunities block. This mismatch signals either systematic misclassification of health services work under this device code or data integrity issues in the source materials. Business development professionals should verify the actual commodity or service code governing state and local procurement of colorectal implantable devices or related procedural services, as this Commodity code does not reflect current buying patterns in that category.
