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 0DBL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85602243 Excision of transverse colon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal description does not align with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source shows no solicitations for surgical procedures or medical devices related to colon excision. Instead, the recent opportunities record a mix of healthcare administration and clinical services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. These activities fall outside the surgical-intervention scope the code's name suggests, indicating a potential tagging or classification mismatch in the source data.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. State and local buyers appear to use this taxonomy entry inconsistently or not at all for the healthcare services they are actually procuring. Business development professionals evaluating opportunities under this code should verify the UNSPSC classification against the actual scope of work in each opportunity notice before pursuing, as the code's current assignment may reflect data-entry error or administrative misclassification rather than meaningful procurement demand for excision procedures.
