UNSPSC 85602238: Extirpation of matter from descending colon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from descending colon, 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 0DCM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85602238 Extirpation of matter from descending colon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its clinical scope. The six state and local opportunities tagged to this code are actually soliciting medical administration services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical care—none of which involve gastroenterologic or percutaneous interventional procedures. The tagging appears to be a classification mismatch rather than genuine procurement under the code's nominal scope.

The issuing bodies across these misaligned opportunities span large county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County) and major municipal systems (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no coherent pattern tied to the UNSPSC code's actual clinical domain. State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect genuine demand for descending colon extirpation services; the opportunities represent administrative healthcare contracting that happens to be miscoded. A firm evaluating pursuit under this code should treat the tagging as unreliable and pursue instead under the applicable administrative and clinical staffing codes that the opportunities actually describe.
