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 0DQJ7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601030 Repair appendix, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer mental health support, inmate medical and pharmacy services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve appendix repair or related surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these state and local jurisdictions classify healthcare services procurement.

The geographic spread of opportunities covers Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with response dates ranging from late 2025 through May 2026. Representative solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026, with current monthly spend at $95,537.71), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care RFP (due April 16, 2026). Because these opportunities fall outside the stated scope of the commodity code, this code should not be relied upon as a procurement indicator for appendix repair services in state and local markets.
