UNSPSC 85601513: Resection of appendix, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of appendix, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0DTJ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85601513 Resection of appendix, percutaneous endoscopic 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 code do not involve surgical services or appendectomy procurement. Instead, the solicitations are for comprehensive healthcare management services—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which relate to resection procedures or endoscopic surgery. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the source data or that this code does not reflect actual state and local contracting patterns for surgical or procedural services at present.

The geographic spread of the opportunities under this code spans Georgia, Florida, and California, with issuing bodies including a consolidated city government (Columbus/Muscogee County, Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), a county health authority (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). The posted opportunities range in response dates from October 2025 through July 2026, but their scope—healthcare administration, managed care, peer mental health support, and medical direction—diverges fundamentally from the code's procedural taxonomy. No recent opportunities for appendectomy services, surgical equipment, or endoscopic procedure support materials are evident in the source data.
