UNSPSC 85602927: Occlusion of large intestine with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of large intestine with extraluminal device, 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 0DLE0CZ

UNSPSC 85602927, Occlusion of large intestine with extraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code represents a specific medical procedure — the placement of an external device to obstruct the large intestine through open surgical approach — yet the six recent opportunities posted under this classification solicitate independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these procurement actions involve the procedure described in the code itself, nor do they involve medical devices or surgical procedures of any kind.

The geographic spread of these misclassified opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington; the issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, city human resources departments, state departments of transportation, county probation departments, county health systems, and county boards of commissioners. The source provides no evidence of actual state and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 85602927 for its nominal scope. Practitioners should verify the code assignment in their procurement tracking systems and flag this classification as potentially erroneous across multiple jurisdictions before committing resources to pursue opportunities tagged with it.
