This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to change feeding device in lower intestinal tract, external approach. 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 0D2DXUZ

UNSPSC 85602708 Change feeding device in lower intestinal tract, external approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged with this code center on comprehensive healthcare service delivery—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve gastrointestinal feeding devices or their replacement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific clinical procedure) and the actual procurements suggests either systematic misclassification by issuing bodies or a disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices categorize health services contracts. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County, Santa Mateo County) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department), reflecting the diversity of state and local health service buyers.

The recent activity is concentrated in Florida (Collier County and Monroe County) and Georgia (Muscogee County), with secondary activity in California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica). Representative recent opportunities include Muscogee County's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code shows no cohesive recent procurement activity aligned with its stated purpose, suggesting it is either underutilized or severely misapplied by current procurement offices.
