UNSPSC 85604100: Lower digestive system-small intestine, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This class includes one or more of 25 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the lower digestive system - small intestine with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0D.

UNSPSC 85604100 Lower digestive system-small intestine, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Class code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes specialized gastroenterological endoscopic procedures, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not reflect that scope. Instead, state and local issuers have tagged pharmacy benefit management, inmate medical services, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support mental health services, and fire department medical direction under this code—none of which involve digestive-system endoscopy or match the procedure name.

The geographic spread of posted opportunities includes Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), though these solicitations are fundamentally unrelated to the code's stated medical device or procedure focus. Columbus Consolidated Government's Muscogee County Prison medical services RFP (due May 15, 2026) and Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP (due April 9, 2026) are the most recent opportunities associated with the code, but neither involves lower digestive system procedures. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code definition and the actual work being procured suggests this code is either incorrectly applied by issuing bodies or has been adopted for administrative classification purposes unrelated to its procedural intent. Business development professionals should verify directly with issuing authorities whether opportunities tagged under this code align with their service offerings, as the taxonomy assignment does not reliably signal relevant procurement activity.
