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 0DUG0JZ

UNSPSC 85602827 Supplement left large intestine with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal relevance to actual purchasing activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which relate to surgical procedures or implantable medical devices for large intestine supplementation. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope (a surgical implant procedure) and the healthcare services and administrative contracts that state and local governments are actually buying under this classification.

The geographic spread of the recent opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government serving Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County), with no clear concentration in any single state. Issuing bodies include county health departments, county boards of commissioners, consolidated city governments, and county behavioral health agencies. Representative recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for 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 2,400 enrolled employees (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), and San Mateo County BHRS's RFP No. 2025-007 for peer support services ($580,000 total funding). The code itself does not signal a coherent procurement category and likely reflects a data classification error rather than a genuine market opportunity for vendors in this space.
