UNSPSC 85602606: Excision of large intestine, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 0DBE7ZZ

UNSPSC 85602606 Excision of large intestine, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect healthcare administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary staffing services — none of which align with the procedural scope the code name specifies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach requested a surgical carve-out benefit program; Washington State Ferries sought occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services; Collier County procured pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing pool across ancillary clinical categories. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either tag misclassification in the source data or that this code does not capture the healthcare services state and local governments are actively purchasing.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single state or jurisdiction type. The issuing bodies include county boards, municipal retirement systems, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and public health systems. No representative opportunity directly matches the code's procedural name, and the geographic and issuing-body patterns do not suggest active procurement momentum in the nominated scope.
