UNSPSC 85601128 Destruction of appendix, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The source presents five recent solicitations, none of which concern surgical destruction of an appendix or any related surgical procedure; instead, the opportunities span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. This mismatch indicates the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities or that the code itself carries limited relevance to active state and local procurement in this taxonomy tier.

The five records show activity across four states—Georgia, Florida, and California—with issuing bodies including county commissions (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, Collier County and Monroe County in Florida, San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department in California). Solicitation types include RFPs for comprehensive healthcare contracts, pharmacy administration, virtual care delivery, peer support pilots, and medical direction. Representative recent opportunities include the Muscogee County Prison RFP 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) seeking annual inmate medical and pharmacy services, and the Collier County RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. No solicitation directly references surgical services, medical coding alignment, or procedural interventions that would legitimately fall under the code's stated scope.
