This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of feeding device in lower intestinal tract, 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 0DWD0UZ

UNSPSC 85603602 Revision of feeding device in lower intestinal tract, open approach (Commodity) shows a material mismatch between its clinical procedural scope and the actual state and local procurement activity recently tagged under the code. Recent solicitations tagged to this code do not involve gastrointestinal device implantation or revision; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, specialty and emergency healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the lower intestinal tract—does not align with the procurement activity being conducted by state and local buyers under this classification.

The recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services and disability record summarization for public safety pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code appears to capture administrative healthcare procurement, benefits management, and occupational health services rather than surgical procedural procurement, indicating a tagging anomaly that may require reclassification or review.
