UNSPSC 85602961: Destruction of left large intestine, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 0D5G0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602961 Destruction of left 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 six state and local opportunities posted between July and September 2026 target health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with colonic resection surgery or surgical procedure coding. The mismatch suggests the code was applied in error to health care service procurements that fall outside surgical intervention taxonomy.

State and local health care procurement activity visible in this timeframe centers on administrative services, clinical staffing networks, and benefits management rather than surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluators for pension disability assessments (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested surgical procedure centers of excellence for bundled-payment networks (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 enrolled employees with approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending (due April 9, 2026, with award targeted for January 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and therapy services (due October 7, 2026). This code warrants deprioritization for surgical-procedure vendors until issuing bodies begin tagging surgical procurement correctly.
