UNSPSC 85593001: Replacement of anal sphincter with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of anal sphincter with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0DRR0KZ

UNSPSC 85593001 Replacement of anal sphincter with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state or local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving prosthetic tissue implantation; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency services for youth in custody — none of which concern sphincter replacement or related surgical implants. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing bodies or a divergence between the code's intended use and actual procurement practice in state and local health systems.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal health benefits administrators (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation system (Harris County, Texas), a county commissioners office (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara, California). No vendor selection, pricing analysis, or procurement momentum specific to sphincter replacement devices or related surgical supplies is evident. State and local procurement professionals should treat this code as inactive for practical business development purposes and verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing any opportunity tagged under 85593001.
