UNSPSC 85602841: Replacement of lesser omentum with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lesser omentum with synthetic 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 0DRT0JZ

UNSPSC 85602841 Replacement of lesser omentum with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving replacement of abdominal tissue with synthetic material using an open surgical approach—a clinical intervention code drawn from medical procedure taxonomy. The recent contract opportunities posted under this code, however, span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for government employees and retirees. None of these solicitations involve procurement of omental synthetic substitutes, surgical implants, or related medical devices.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a classification error in the state or local issuing systems or an inadvertent tagging of broader health services procurement to a procedure-specific code. The represented opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for youth), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). The geographic spread spans Arizona, Florida, Washington, California, and Texas. This code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors supplying the procedure or device it nominally describes.
