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 0DNE7ZZ

UNSPSC 85602554 Release large intestine, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The five most recent opportunities tagged under this code in the source reflect healthcare administration and service delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which directly concern gastrointestinal surgical or interventional procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal medical procedure classification and the actual solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a catch-all classification for healthcare contracting activity outside its intended scope.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities span county health systems, correctional facilities, and municipal fire departments, including Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and California, with secondary representation in Georgia. Because the opportunities do not align with the code's clinical definition, no meaningful pursue signal emerges from the recent activity block. Procurement professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment with the issuing body before responding to opportunities tagged under this classification.
