UNSPSC 85601338 Drainage of appendix, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity in the opportunities posted under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged with this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management services for a county health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve surgical drainage of an appendix or any operative procedure. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its clinical taxonomy and the healthcare administration, managed care, and occupational health services state and local governments are actually buying. This code does not represent a viable procurement opportunity category for state and local contracts.

The issuing bodies in the recent posting cycle span county corrections departments (Muscogee County, Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), county health and behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). No repeat buyers appear across the opportunities; each represents a standalone health plan, correctional health, or emergency services function. Geographic activity is scattered across Georgia, Florida, and California with no concentration pattern. The opportunities posted include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 (due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical spending around $8.7 million annually; Monroe County's RFP (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members; and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 (due October 16, 2025) for medical director services. The code's clinical specificity does not align with the scope of these procurements and does not represent a reliable search category for state and local healthcare or administrative service opportunities.
