UNSPSC 85593103: Extirpation of matter from anal sphincter, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from anal sphincter, 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 0DCR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85593103 Extirpation of matter from anal sphincter, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—a surgical procedure—conflicts with the scope of solicitations currently tagged under it, which instead reflect purchases of occupational health services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. State and local buyers have not posted opportunities seeking procurement of anal sphincter procedures or related surgical services under this code in the recent record.

The mismatch suggests a taxonomy classification error in the underlying state and local procurement databases. Recent opportunities bearing this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out benefits covering knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across fourteen ferry locations (due October 9, 2026). None of these solicitations target procurement of a single surgical procedure; instead, they reflect administrative medical services, benefit program management, and occupational health compliance. Pursuing this code requires verifying whether the underlying procurement systems have corrected the classification or whether related opportunities will continue to be miscoded under it.
