UNSPSC 85602828: Supplement left large intestine with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left large intestine with autologous tissue substitute, open 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 0DUG07Z

UNSPSC 85602828 Supplement left large intestine with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal clinical scope. The opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the surgical supplementation of the large intestine described in the code name. State and local procurement systems occasionally tag opportunities with codes that do not match the work actually being bought, and this code appears to exemplify that mismatch. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state departments of transportation, county boards of commissioners, and county juvenile probation departments, reflecting a broad mix of municipal, county, and state administrative and healthcare purchasing units.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with response dates clustering between September and October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP for ferry system workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's clinical description and the actual procurements appearing under it, this code warrants verification in any strategy targeting state and local health and human services opportunities.
