UNSPSC 85602226: Occlusion of descending colon with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of descending 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 0DLM3CZ

UNSPSC 85602226 Occlusion of descending colon with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth — none of which align with the code's stated description of a percutaneous medical device procedure for colonic occlusion. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source material or use of the code outside its intended scope, making it difficult to assess genuine procurement demand for the procedure itself.

The opportunities that are actually being solicited span state health systems, county human resources divisions, transit authorities, and juvenile justice departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but these represent broader healthcare service categories rather than procurement of the specific device or procedure named in the code. No recent opportunities in the source material reflect actual purchasing of occlusion devices or related descending colon interventions. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before committing resources, as the current tagging does not support meaningful activity analysis under the stated commodity.
