UNSPSC 85602517: Restriction of large intestine, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of large intestine, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0DVE7ZZ

UNSPSC 85602517 Restriction of large intestine via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no material alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a medical procedure—restriction of the large intestine—yet the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve that procedure or related gastrointestinal interventions. Instead, the recent solicitations span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical and procedural carve-out benefits management (City of Long Beach), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara). None of these opportunities involve the restriction of the large intestine or endoscopic or surgical procedures targeting colonic narrowing.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a persistent misclassification in state and local procurement systems or that this code does not capture meaningful activity in the current market. A business development professional evaluating this code for pursuit should recognize that opportunities posted under UNSPSC 85602517 do not reliably correspond to gastrointestinal medical devices, surgical services, or procedural expertise in colonic restriction. Proceed with caution and verify the actual scope of work in any RFP or RFQ notice before committing resources to proposal development.
