UNSPSC 85602404: Destruction of ascending colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of ascending 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 0D5K4ZZ

UNSPSC 85602404 Destruction of ascending colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the work actually being solicited under it in state and local markets. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits management, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which constitute destruction of ascending colon procedures or relate to gastroenterological surgery at the procedural level. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional transit authorities (Washington State Ferries), but the opportunities themselves are administrative, staffing, and benefits-management services rather than clinical procedures.

The geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, but the mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the administrative or staffing nature of recent solicitations signals that this code either receives mis-tagging in state and local systems or sees no genuine procurement activity aligned to its stated definition. The Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services and disability medical record summation; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) procures surgical procedure carve-out benefit management; and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) purchases occupational medical surveillance. None of these represent the procedural work the code nominally describes. Pursuit under this code should be treated with caution unless the actual clinical need—destruction of ascending colon procedures—aligns to a specific health system or integrated delivery network's clinical capitation or bundled-care initiative, a signal the recent opportunities do not support.
