UNSPSC 85603372: Removal of drainage device from lower intestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from lower intestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0DPD70Z

UNSPSC 85603372 Removal of drainage device from lower intestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities tagged under this code in the past 90 days — spanning independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are healthcare administration and staffing services unrelated to the removal of drainage devices from the lower intestinal tract. The code appears to have been applied to broad health services procurement notices rather than to the specific gastrointestinal medical procedure the code describes.

No state and local jurisdiction has solicited for drainage device removal services under this code in the recent-opportunities window. Given the mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the scope of healthcare administration and staffing work actually being tagged, business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for state and local procurement purposes and monitor instead the specific healthcare service codes under which the jurisdictions listed — Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County — are actually procuring clinical and administrative services.
