UNSPSC 85601313: Resection of appendix, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of appendix, open approach. 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 0DTJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85601313 Resection of appendix, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect broad healthcare services contracting — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve appendectomy or surgical intervention. Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison) issued an RFP in April 2026 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services covering 576 offenders, with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71 and contract term of two years plus three one-year renewal options; Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 members (employees and dependents) with historical annual spending around $8.7 million; Monroe County issued an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members; San Mateo County Health's Behavioral Health and Recovery Services issued an RFP for a peer support pilot project funded at $580,000 over three years; and Santa Monica Fire Department issued an RFP for a medical director physician. The issuers span county correctional systems, county human resources and health departments, and municipal fire departments across Georgia, Florida, and California.

The geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California, with no concentration evident in the source. The recent opportunities—Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California)—represent disparate jurisdictions with no repeat buyers in the dataset. The code's apparent misclassification as a surgical procedure against healthcare administration and management services contracting suggests that state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities incorrectly, or the code has been applied to a broader healthcare delivery category than its nominal scope implies. No decision-relevant activity specific to appendectomy procurement is present in the source material. For firms pursuing healthcare services contracts with state and local bodies, this code does not provide a useful signal for strategy or pipeline development.
