UNSPSC 85602225: Occlusion of descending colon with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of descending colon with intraluminal 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 0DLM3DZ

UNSPSC 85602225 Occlusion of descending colon with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a substantive mismatch between its clinical procedural scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific gastrointestinal interventional procedure, but the six most recent solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve intraluminal colonic occlusion devices or related interventional gastroenterology work. The mismatch indicates that either the code has been misapplied to these solicitations in the source data, or the code taxonomy itself is being used inconsistently by the state and local issuers that tagged them.

Across the recent opportunities, issuing bodies include county commissioners (Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources and benefits functions (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and regional ferries operations. No single issuer appears more than once in the block. The geographic spread spans California (Santa Clara, Long Beach), Florida (Collier County), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington State, and Texas (Harris County), with no regional concentration visible. Because the code itself does not describe work that state and local governments are actively procuring under this UNSPSC designation, the code presents limited relevance to vendors pursuing health care delivery or medical device contracts at the state and local level. Prospective bidders should verify the correct UNSPSC coding with issuing bodies before responding to health care or medical procurement opportunities, as the present taxonomy assignment does not align with the actual scope of work being solicited.
