UNSPSC 85603623: Resection of anus, open approach

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 0DTQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85603623 Resection of anus, open approach is a Commodity code that bears little resemblance to the actual procurement activity tagged under it in recent state and local solicitations. The five recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, employee pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical resection procedures or surgical services procurement. The code's nominal scope does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification, suggesting either a systematic tagging error or significant mission creep in how the code is being applied by issuing bodies. The issuing bodies include county departments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County), county behavioral health and recovery services (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica), covering healthcare administration, managed care contracting, and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures or operating-room supplies.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica), with contract terms ranging from two to three years and dollar values reaching into the millions annually where disclosed — Collier County's pharmacy benefit management contract historically represents $8.7 million annual spending, and Muscogee County's inmate medical services contract runs $95,537.71 monthly. Representative solicitations include Muscogee County'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 (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026). This code shows no decision-relevant activity for vendors with surgical, procedural, or operating-room service capabilities; the tagging mismatch suggests careful due diligence on specification alignment before bid preparation.
