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 0DWDX7Z

UNSPSC 85603506 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in lower intestinal tract, external approach (Commodity) shows a severe mismatch between its clinical nomenclature and the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve tissue substitutes or gastrointestinal procedures. The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact in state and local procurement systems; the solicitations reflect administrative healthcare services, benefits administration, and clinical staffing rather than the surgical or procedural scope the code name implies. Issuing bodies include county retirement boards, municipal employee benefits offices, state transportation departments, county probation systems, and county health systems.

The geographic spread spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year maximum value of $750,000, the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 with a two-year term and optional five-year extension, and Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP with a three-year initial term effective January 1, 2026 and historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows no coherent recent activity aligned to its stated clinical scope; vendors should treat this code as effectively inactive for procurement planning purposes.
