This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0D9F7ZZ

UNSPSC 85602613 Drainage of right large intestine, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve gastrointestinal procedures or the clinical intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span municipal pension offices, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation systems, county health consortia, and county health systems, reflecting fragmentation across administrative and clinical divisions.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide ferries operations), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (due October 7, 2026, with contract anticipated for April 1, 2027), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, with historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually). The code appears to be systematically misapplied to health services procurement; vendors pursuing opportunities tagged under this code should verify the actual scope of work in the underlying RFP or RFQ before committing resources.
