This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of descending 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 0DMM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85602342, Reattachment of descending colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and other administrative healthcare services—none of which involve gastrointestinal surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the work being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code is being repurposed within state and local taxonomy in ways that diverge from its procedural definition.

The issuing bodies using this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals and shipyards (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure Centers of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, and Washington, with isolated opportunities elsewhere. Given the absence of alignment between code definition and actual procurement scope, this code should be considered a low-priority signal for vendors offering medical procedures or clinical services aligned with the code's procedural name; the recent activity is driven by administrative healthcare services and staffing management rather than operative interventions.
