UNSPSC 85601022 Resection of appendix, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the posted opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent solicitations posted under this designation involve healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care services, peer support mental health services, and fire department medical direction—none of which entail appendectomy procedures or surgical services. State and local governments do not appear to be sourcing appendectomy services through public procurement channels under this code.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitations signals either a tagging error by issuing bodies or a lack of relevant state and local procurement activity under this commodity designation. The opportunities identified—Muscogee County Prison's inmate medical and pharmacy services (Columbus Consolidated Government, RFP, May 15, 2026 response date), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, April 9, 2026 response date), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services (RFP 628, April 16, 2026 response date), San Mateo County's peer support for peer workers program (RFP 2025-007, July 2, 2025 response date), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director services (RFP 455, October 16, 2025 response date)—represent health administration and behavioral health contracting, not surgical procedures. No state or local government has recently solicited surgical appendectomy services under this code, and the code does not appear active for state and local business development purposes at this time.
