UNSPSC 85602542: Resection of large intestine, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection 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 0DTE7ZZ

UNSPSC 85602542 Resection of large intestine, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve colorectal resection or any surgical procedure performance. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile probation agencies, and county benefits management divisions, reflecting a broad mix of municipal, county, and state purchasing entities across health administration, employee benefits, and youth detention settings.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) to prepare medical record summaries and coordinate disability examinations for approximately 75 annual pension benefit applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026) to conduct baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code assignment appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than a reflection of actual procurement demand under this commodity classification.
