UNSPSC 85602929: Insertion of intraluminal device into large intestine, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into large intestine, 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 0DHE0DZ

UNSPSC 85602929 Insertion of intraluminal device into large intestine, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — insertion of an intraluminal device into the large intestine using an open surgical approach — but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical benefit carve-out networks. None of these solicitations involve intraluminal device insertion or open surgical procedures on the large intestine. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error at the state or local procurement office level or a systematic misapplication of this code to medical services that fall outside its intended scope.

The issuing bodies in the opportunities block span multiple jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix (pension system disability evaluations), the City of Long Beach (health plan surgery benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medicine), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefits), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic coverage includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code shows no substantive alignment with its stated definition and the opportunities tagged under it address employee health benefits and occupational medicine administration rather than surgical intervention, this code presents limited decision relevance for vendors pursuing intraluminal device or surgical implant contracts with state and local buyers. Practitioners should verify code assignment at the point of bid opportunity and flag misalignment with the procurement office before responding.
