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 0D7E0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602957 Dilation of large intestine, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it in state and local procurement systems instead reflect healthcare services contracting — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. These are administrative and clinical services, not procedural interventions. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical definition and how state and local procurement offices are using it to solicit healthcare services. State and local buyers do contract for healthcare delivery, but the code as defined does not represent the scope of work actually being solicited under it.

The issuing bodies in the recent sample include county health departments (Muscogee County/Columbus Consolidated Government, Collier County, Monroe County, Santa Monica Fire Department), county behavioral health services (San Mateo County), and municipal procurement divisions in Georgia and Florida. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Georgia, Florida, and California. However, because the underlying code does not meaningfully describe the work being bought, this code should not be pursued as a strategic focus without clarification from state and local customers about whether the tagging reflects intentional scope or system error.
