UNSPSC 85602261: Destruction of sigmoid colon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0D5N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85602261 Destruction of sigmoid colon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The six most recent postings include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve procedural destruction of the sigmoid colon or any gastrointestinal surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure title and the actual goods and services state and local jurisdictions are buying suggests that this code does not represent current procurement demand in state and local markets, or that the tagging of these opportunities to this UNSPSC classification is erroneous.

The issuing bodies across the recent postings span a diverse set of state and local entities: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension administration), the City of Long Beach (municipal health benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (employee pharmacy benefits), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (hospital staffing). Geographic distribution includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The response dates cluster in September and October 2026, with the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Long Beach surgical benefit program RFP (due October 7, 2026) among the nearest-term opportunities. No procurement activity under this code appears to involve the surgical procedure named in the UNSPSC title.
