UNSPSC 85593601: Excision of anal sphincter, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of anal sphincter, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0DBR4ZZ

UNSPSC 85593601 Excision of anal sphincter, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The code's technical medical-procedure descriptor does not match the scope of work being solicited under it. State and local governments are not procuring surgical procedures themselves; rather, recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension and disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual purchasing activity suggests either a data-entry error in the source material or an inappropriate code assignment by the issuing bodies.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and municipal human resources divisions across Arizona, Washington, Florida, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a five-year term and $750,000 maximum compensation), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Code activity does not reflect a coherent commodity market but instead appears to reflect a classification error.
