UNSPSC 85601500: Lower digestive system-cecum appendix, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This class includes one or more of 25 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the lower digestive system - cecum and appendix with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0D.

UNSPSC 85601500 Lower digestive system-cecum appendix, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Class code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations posted under this code do not reflect purchases of digestive-system medical procedures or endoscopic equipment. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span inmate healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of percutaneous endoscopic procedures on the lower digestive system. The issuing bodies include county corrections departments, county boards of commissioners, county health authorities, and municipal fire departments, but the work they are actually soliciting does not match the procedural and equipment-focused intent of the code.

The geographic spread of recent postings includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with the most recent opportunities from April 2026 including Muscogee County Prison's RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026) and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026). The code does not reflect active state and local procurement for the lower digestive system procedures, specialty endoscopic instruments, or related capital equipment that the UNSPSC classification suggests. For firms pursuing state and local work in healthcare delivery, corrections medicine, or pharmacy administration, the recent activity under this code is not a reliable indicator of buying patterns in those service lines.
