UNSPSC 85601100: Lower digestive system-cecum appendix, natural or artificial opening-part B

This class includes one or more of 25 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the lower digestive system - cecum and appendix via natural or artificial opening. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0D.

UNSPSC 85601100 Lower digestive system-cecum appendix, natural or artificial opening-part B is a Class code that covers medical and pharmacy services for incarcerated populations and correctional health programs, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows minimal relevant alignment. The single concrete opportunity matching the code's nominal scope is the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, posted April 15, 2026, with proposals due May 15, 2026. That solicitation encompasses medical intake screening, chronic care management, emergency services, laboratory and diagnostic services, formulary development, and comprehensive pharmacy services including medication dispensing for approximately 576 offenders. The remaining opportunities in the recent activity block—Collier County's pharmacy benefit management procurement, Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services, San Mateo County's peer support for peer workers pilot, and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director contract—fall outside the digestive-system-focused scope and primary correctional health context that the code nominally describes. County purchasing offices and dedicated correctional health divisions are the issuing bodies most likely to use this code, though the sparse recent activity suggests limited current procurement volume under this specific UNSPSC classification.

Activity under this code is concentrated in Georgia, with the Muscogee County Prison solicitation representing the primary recent state and local opportunity. The Columbus Consolidated Government's evaluation criteria weight qualifications and experience at 40%, service plan at 40%, client work history at 15%, and cost at 5%, with respondents required to demonstrate five years of successful correctional healthcare experience at comparable populations and NCCHC accreditation. The current monthly cost is $95,537.71 under the incumbent contract with CorrectHealth Companies LLC, expiring September 30, 2026. The contract term runs two years with three optional one-year renewals contingent on mutual agreement and appropriations, and either party may exit with 90 days' notice. Vendors must complete E-Verify, maintain $1 million minimum general liability coverage, and register with Team Georgia Marketplace. A non-mandatory but strongly encouraged site visit is available through Deputy Warden Normae Beecham (706-641-5803 or nbeecham@columbusga.org) no later than seven business days before the May 15 deadline. The mismatch between the code's digestive-system classification and the actual scope of work being solicited—which is comprehensive correctional medical and pharmacy administration—signals either miscoding by the issuing body or a taxonomy misalignment that limits the utility of this code for targeting correctional health opportunities.
