UNSPSC 85602231: Occlusion of ascending colon with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of ascending 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 0DLK3DZ

UNSPSC 85602231 Occlusion of ascending colon with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under its classification. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving placement of an intraluminal device in the colon; however, the six recent opportunities tagged under this code are for occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards (City of Phoenix), surgical benefits carve-out program management (City of Long Beach), specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve the procurement of occluding devices or procedure-specific medical supplies.

The mismatch between the code's procedural descriptor and the scope of actual work being solicited suggests either systematic misclassification at the state and local issuing offices or that the code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare services unrelated to the specific procedure named. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with issuing bodies including county health systems, county government purchasing offices, state departments of transportation, and municipal retirement boards. No representative opportunity directly aligns with the code's stated scope.
