UNSPSC 85602111 Drainage of ascending colon, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with the code's medical-procedure scope. The opportunities instead reflect general healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and emergency medical direction — none involving surgical drainage procedures. The mismatch indicates that this code shows little relevant recent activity in the state and local procurement dataset, and the tagged solicitations appear to reflect miscoding rather than actual procurement of the specified clinical service.

The issuing bodies in the posted opportunities span county health departments, county commissioners' boards, and municipal fire departments in Florida, Georgia, and California. The recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care platform for 2,300 county members (RFP, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support services for peer workers under the Mental Health Services Act (RFP 2025-007, $580,000 total funding), and Santa Monica Fire Department's emergency medical services medical director (RFP 455, due October 16, 2025). The commodity code itself does not appear to be driving procurement activity; the categorization error suggests limited utility for business development targeting under this specific UNSPSC designation.
