UNSPSC 85602578: Extirpation of matter from right large intestine, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 0DCF7ZZ

UNSPSC 85602578, Extirpation of matter from right large intestine via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are healthcare administration, benefits management, and occupational health services that fall outside the code's nominal medical-procedure scope. State and local issuing bodies appear to have misclassified these opportunities at the procurement portal level, assigning them to a procedure-specific Commodity code rather than to healthcare services or benefits administration codes.

The recent activity spans city and county benefits offices (Phoenix, Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county public health and detention systems (Harris County, Santa Clara County), and includes both RFPs and RFIs with response dates between September 25 and October 16, 2026. However, none of this activity represents procurement of the gastrointestinal procedure the code describes. The code shows little substantive recent activity aligned to its defined scope; business development professionals should verify correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code, as the current tagging indicates a cataloging error rather than genuine demand for the procedure itself.
