UNSPSC 85603241: Drainage of large intestine, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of large intestine, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0D9E4ZZ

UNSPSC 85603241 Drainage of large intestine, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the six most recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary clinical staffing placement. None of these solicitations concern gastroenterology, endoscopic procedures, or large-intestine drainage — the procedural services the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the underlying procurement systems or a systematic miscoding of health services across multiple issuing bodies.

The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health benefit programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile detention systems (Harris County), county commissioners' offices managing benefits consortia (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas, with no dominant single jurisdiction. Recent procurement deadlines cluster in September and October 2026, with contract awards anticipated through early 2027. Given the absence of genuine endoscopic or gastroenterology procedure solicitations and the prevalence of administrative health services and staffing procurement under this code, firms pursuing opportunities here should verify code assignments in each RFP before committing resources.
