UNSPSC 85602325: Resection of sigmoid colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of sigmoid colon, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0DTN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85602325 Resection of sigmoid colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six most recent opportunities posted under this code solicits independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve sigmoid colon resection or any particular surgical procedure. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of medical administrative and staffing services actually being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding at posting or that the code is functioning as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not fit more granular clinical commodity codes.

The issuing bodies span county human resources departments, municipal retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, and county and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (response date October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical Center of Excellence network administration for its employee health plan (response date October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (response date October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool solicitation for temporary ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, radiology, surgical support, and therapy services (response date October 7, 2026). The code shows no decision relevance for vendors offering surgical procedures or clinical delivery; the actual procurement activity targets administrative intermediaries, staffing placement firms, and benefit plan administrators.
