UNSPSC 85603404: Release rectum, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release rectum, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0DNP7ZZ

UNSPSC 85603404 Release rectum, via natural or artificial opening (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The code nominally describes a medical procedure, yet the five most recent solicitations involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, mental health peer support programs, and fire department medical director services — none of which constitute release of the rectum via natural or artificial opening or closely relate to the code's stated scope.

The mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in how the issuing bodies have tagged these opportunities, or that this Commodity code is being used as a catch-all for broader healthcare procurement in the state and local space. Activity is concentrated in Florida (Collier County and Monroe County) and Georgia (Muscogee County), with additional recent solicitations from San Mateo County, California and Santa Monica, California. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, county health departments, county fire departments, and county behavioral health agencies. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for 24/7 virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal definition and should not be relied upon for pursuing rectum-release procedures or related surgical services.
