UNSPSC 85601348 Destruction of appendix, open approach is a Commodity code that nominal taxonomy does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The posted solicitations involve prison healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director roles — none of which entail surgical procedures or appendectomies. The code shows little relevant recent activity grounded in its stated scope.

Geographic spread and issuing bodies are dispersed across recent opportunities that do not match the code's surgical focus. The most recent solicitations originate from Muscogee County in Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department, RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026); Collier County in Florida (Procurement Services Division, RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026); Monroe County in Florida (Board of County Commissioners, RFP for virtual primary and urgent care due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County in California (Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, RFP for peer support services due July 2, 2025); and Santa Monica in California (Fire Department, RFP for medical director services due October 16, 2025). None of these opportunities procure surgical services or procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding in source systems or limited genuine procurement activity aligned with this Commodity code in current state and local markets.
