UNSPSC 85602373: Drainage of transverse colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0D9L4ZZ

UNSPSC 85602373 Drainage of transverse colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains six recent opportunities tagged to this code, none of which involve transverse colon drainage or endoscopic procedures. Instead, the tagged opportunities solicit independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code serves as a placeholder for broader medical and health-related services in state and local procurement systems. State issuing bodies and local municipalities use this code without regard to its formal procedure-specific definition, rendering the Commodity code title uninformative for business development purposes.

The recent activity shows issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictional tiers — city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention (Harris County), county human resources (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County) — pursuing medical administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing services with October 2026 response deadlines and contract starts in early 2027. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The opportunities range from $750,000 over five years (Phoenix pension medical evaluations) to estimated $8.7 million annually (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), with evaluation criteria emphasizing experience managing large member or patient populations, compliance and regulatory alignment, and cost transparency. The code shows no coherent procurement pattern tied to the endoscopic procedure it nominally describes; vendors pursuing these opportunities should treat them as discrete medical administration, benefits, and staffing solicitations rather than procedure-specific medical device or surgical service buys.
