UNSPSC 85602605: Excision of large intestine, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of large intestine, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0DBE8ZZ

UNSPSC 85602605 Excision of large intestine, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations—spanning occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical Center of Excellence networks for municipal employees, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing—do not involve colorectal surgical procedures or endoscopic excisions. These opportunities reflect broader healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, benefits management, and clinical staffing procurement that falls outside the code's stated commodity scope. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), but the misalignment between code classification and actual solicitation content undermines the code's utility as a procurement signal for this specific procedure.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, reflecting national-scale healthcare benefits and occupational health procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026, apparent successful bidder announcement October 20, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (proposals due October 7, 2026, contract execution and go-live targeted April 1, 2027). The code shows little relevant recent activity for colorectal endoscopic procedures under state and local procurement. Vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted under this commodity, as the classification appears to reflect administrative or data-entry misalignment rather than genuine procurement of surgical services.
