UNSPSC 85601437: Destruction of appendix, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of appendix, percutaneous 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 0D5J3ZZ

UNSPSC 85601437 Destruction of appendix, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC designation do not involve surgical intervention—instead they span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. State and local issuing bodies are posting diverse healthcare services solicitations under this code, including Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management for county employees), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (peer support pilot for mental health workers), and Santa Monica Fire Department (EMS medical direction). The classification mismatch suggests the code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare procurement rather than for appendectomy procedures specifically.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (May 15, 2026 due date) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison under an annual contract with two-year initial term and three optional one-year renewals, currently costing $95,537.71 monthly through incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 (April 9, 2026 deadline) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million and a three-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals; and Monroe County's RFP (April 16, 2026 deadline through Bonfire platform) for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members with a twenty-four-month initial term effective October 1, 2026. The code does not reflect meaningful surgical-services procurement activity and appears misaligned with its nominal scope.
