UNSPSC 85603300: Lower digestive system-rectum anus, natural or artificial opening-part A

This class includes one or more of 25 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the lower digestive system - rectum and anus via natural or artificial opening. 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 85603300 Lower digestive system—rectum anus, natural or artificial opening—part A is a Class code that does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve lower digestive system products or services as the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscategorization in the posting systems or that this code is not actively used in state and local procurement to describe what is actually being bought.

The source provides no recent opportunities that substantively match the code's scope. The five posted opportunities between February and April 2026 reflect broader healthcare administration, insurance coverage, and clinical direction services rather than digestive-system-specific medical devices, supplies, or procedures. Without evidence of genuine activity under this code, pursuing vendors should verify whether state and local procurement offices are actually using this UNSPSC classification, or whether opportunities in digestive-system products and services appear under different codes in their target jurisdictions.
