UNSPSC 85602339: Release transverse colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release transverse 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 0DNL4ZZ

UNSPSC 85602339 Release transverse colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—endoscopic release of the transverse colon—yet the recent opportunities tagged under it do not involve surgical services, medical devices, or clinical procedures. Instead, they reflect a broad set of healthcare administration and service contracts, including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and medical directorship. This mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a downstream taxonomy error in how the code was applied to these opportunities.

The opportunities originate from county and local health authorities across Florida and Georgia, with activity concentrated at Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County, Monroe County, San Mateo County, and Santa Monica Fire Department (all Florida or California). Issuing bodies span county commissioners' offices, health departments, and specialized service agencies. Representative recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026, with current monthly costs of $95,537.71 under an expiring CorrectHealth Companies LLC contract), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management serving approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services covering 2,300 county members with an anticipated effective date of October 1, 2026. The code itself does not meaningfully characterize what state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy designation, and pursuit decisions should be based on concrete service requirements in each RFP rather than the surgical-procedure name attached to the code.
