UNSPSC 85601101 Excision of appendix, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities in the source represent healthcare administration and management services—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, county pharmacy benefit management covering employees and dependents, virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees and retirees, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and medical direction services for a fire department's EMS program. None of these solicitations involve appendectomy procedures or surgical services. The issuing bodies span county commissioners' offices (Collier County, Monroe County, Florida; Muscogee County, Georgia), a county health department (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica), with no clear repeat buyers under this specific code.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and California, with secondary presence in Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Muscogee County Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP 2025-007 for peer support services for behavioral health workers ($580,000 total funding, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure name and the healthcare administration services actually being solicited under it suggests either systematic miscoding in source data or that this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local procurement patterns for these service types.
