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 0D9K3ZZ

UNSPSC 85602251 Drainage of ascending colon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no meaningful relationship to the code's clinical procedure scope. The opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—reflect procurement of administrative, occupational health, and health plan management services rather than a specific surgical drainage procedure. State and local buyers do not appear to solicit ascending colon drainage procedures as standalone procurement line items; the code shows little relevant recent activity for actual clinical procedure provision.

The six recent opportunities posted under this code span Arizona (Phoenix retirement medical evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out, Santa Clara temporary health staffing), Washington (state ferries occupational surveillance), Texas (Harris County juvenile detention healthcare), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and county health systems. This geographic and organizational scatter reflects ad-hoc tagging rather than concentrated buying activity in a unified service line. A business development professional should flag this code as a taxonomy alignment problem—either the opportunities are miscoded or the code itself is not in active use for state and local procurements—and investigate whether relevant health services opportunities are tagged elsewhere or sold through non-traditional channels such as cooperative health purchasing vehicles or regional hospital consortia.
