UNSPSC 85603633: Removal of synthetic substitute from lower intestinal tract, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0DPD0JZ

UNSPSC 85603633 Removal of synthetic substitute from lower intestinal tract, open approach is a Commodity code with a nominal clinical procedural scope that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities show no purchasing of gastrointestinal surgical procedures or related medical device removal services. Instead, the code has been applied to a wide range of administrative and clinical staffing services, benefits program management, occupational health surveillance, and emergency medical care delivery—none of which fall within the code's stated clinical definition. This mismatch indicates that the code is either misclassified in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities or is being used as a catch-all placeholder for medical service categories that lack precise UNSPSC alignment.

The six recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and states with no discernible geographic or sectoral concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent disability medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program administration due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System (California) solicited temporary ancillary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows minimal recent activity and no actionable alignment with the stated commodity definition. Firms pursuing work in healthcare administration, occupational medicine, or clinical staffing should verify UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before bid preparation, as the code does not reliably signal procurement opportunities in those areas.
