UNSPSC 85603440 Drainage of rectum via natural or artificial opening drainage device, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — medical devices for rectal drainage — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The posted solicitations span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgery benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and emergency medical care — none of which address rectal drainage devices or the scope implied by the code name. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a code misapplication by one or more issuing bodies.

Solicitations posted under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states and service lines — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — but the work being solicited bears no consistent relationship to the code's stated purpose. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Texas, Florida, and Washington, yet the underlying procurement activity does not cluster around a single product or service family. Until state and local procurement systems correct the code assignment or the UNSPSC taxonomy is updated to reflect actual usage, this code should be treated as inactive for business development purposes in the rectal drainage device market.
