UNSPSC 85602241: Excision of sigmoid colon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of sigmoid 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 0DBN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85602241 Excision of sigmoid colon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local governments purchasing under this code classification are soliciting healthcare management services, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary care, peer support programming, and emergency medical services oversight—none of which involve surgical excision procedures. The recent opportunities are comprehensive service contracts for jail medical care, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual urgent and primary care platforms, mental health peer support, and fire department medical direction, indicating a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns. No recent solicitations reflect procurement of the procedure named in the code itself.

The issuing bodies in the recent records span county governments and municipal fire departments across Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County / Columbus Consolidated Government), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica Fire Department). The geographic and issuing-body diversity suggests the code receives attention across multiple states and jurisdiction types, but the consistent absence of surgical-procedure-related content signals either mislabeling in the state and local procurement system or minimal legitimate activity under this code's intended commodity definition. Prospective vendors should verify whether opportunities tagged under this code represent genuine procurement needs or reflect classification errors in the source systems.
