This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from appendix, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0DCJ8ZZ

UNSPSC 85601053, Extirpation of matter from appendix via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities tagged under this code span disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of endoscopic appendix procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the work actually being solicited suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local sourcing systems or the opportunities were incorrectly tagged.

The recent opportunities show activity from major municipal and county health systems including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for specialty and emergency services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Because none of these solicitations involve endoscopic procedures or appendix treatment, firms pursuing actual gastrointestinal surgical services should verify correct code assignment before investing in opportunities tagged under this Commodity code.
