This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left large intestine via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0DUG7KZ

UNSPSC 85602522 Supplement left large intestine via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical-procedure scope. The six recent state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 under this code—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve gastrointestinal surgical procedures or tissue-substitute implants. The code appears to have been applied to these opportunities in error or as a default classification; none of the solicitations describe the procurement of surgical supplies, prosthetics, or procedural services matching the code's clinical definition.

State and local procurement activity under this code should not be pursued based on current market signals. The issuing bodies span a broad mix—city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county HR consortiums (Collier County)—but their actual spending targets benefits administration, staffing, and medical services management rather than gastrointestinal implants or surgical reconstruction. Until the code is either corrected in state and local UNSPSC assignments or opportunities genuinely matching the code's scope appear, monitor this code as a classification issue rather than a procurement avenue.
