UNSPSC 85811101: Introduction of adhesion barrier into peritoneal cavity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of adhesion barrier into peritoneal cavity, open approach. This administrative 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 3E0M05Z

UNSPSC 85811101 Introduction of adhesion barrier into peritoneal cavity, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving the insertion of adhesion barriers during open abdominal surgery, yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect instead a broad spectrum of healthcare services procurement—virtual urgent care, general medical services, occupational health, cancer screening, behavioral health treatment, and opioid use disorder programming—none of which involve surgical adhesion barrier placement. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code has been applied to broader healthcare service categories in practice. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code span diverse jurisdictional types: health authorities (Nevada Health Authority), county health departments and medical centers (San Mateo County Medical Center, Santa Clara County Health System), city health and employee-wellness functions (City of Ocala, Events DC, City of Phoenix), county behavioral health departments (Ventura County, Rockland County, Fairfax County), and county sheriffs' offices (Boulder County Sheriff's Office). A standout issuing body is Nevada Health Authority, which has posted multiple recent solicitations for PACE operations and rural value-based care facilitation, signaling ongoing investment in integrated care delivery models.

Recent opportunities cluster across California, Nevada, Florida, Colorado, and multi-state cooperative vehicles. Representative recent solicitations include Nevada Health Authority's RFP for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) operations due December 10, 2026, requesting proposals to operate comprehensive Medicare/Medicaid managed care for seniors across defined Nevada service areas at fixed capitation rates; Inland Empire Health Plan's RFI for 24/7/365 virtual urgent care services due October 31, 2026, seeking California board-certified physician-led telehealth for plan members; San Mateo County Medical Center's RFP for cancer registry services due November 6, 2026, requesting abstracting, coding, and reporting services for approximately 1,000 patient records annually; and Boulder County Sheriff's Office's RFP for 24/7 EMT staffing at the county jail due October 26, 2026. The code shows no cohesive procurement pattern around its nominal surgical scope; business development professionals should verify code alignment directly with target procurement offices before pursuing opportunities, as the mismatch between the code definition and actual purchasing activity suggests coding drift or functional scope that differs materially from the UNSPSC taxonomy intent.
