UNSPSC 85603435: Drainage of anus, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of anus, 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 0D9Q7ZZ

UNSPSC 85603435 Drainage of anus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code are for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve drainage procedures or proctological intervention. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification that state and local procurement offices are using as a catch-all for general healthcare service solicitations rather than as a precise scope indicator. No issuing bodies are repeating under this code in the recent opportunities block.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 response date and a $750,000 maximum five-year contract value; the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (Commodity code application appears misaligned with procurement purpose); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance with an October 9, 2026 response date and pre-bid scheduled August 31, 2026. The code's mismatch with actual procurement scope signals that this classification warrants caution when filtering or scoring opportunities—recent activity does not reflect genuine demand for the service the code nominally describes.
