UNSPSC 85603656 Extirpation of matter from anus, open approach is a Commodity code with a mismatch between its clinical taxonomy label and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical procedures or clinical services matching the code's medical nomenclature; instead, they reflect a broader range of healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, mental health services, and emergency medical direction. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department), indicating that health and human services departments, county boards of commissioners, and fire service agencies are driving procurement activity under this classification despite the code's stated surgical focus.

Recent opportunities show the code is being applied to inmate medical and pharmacy services contracts, pharmacy benefit management administration covering employee and dependent populations, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and emergency medical director services for fire departments. Geographic activity concentrates in California, Florida, and Georgia, with proposals due between February and July 2026. Representative solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (proposals due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending (closed April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (proposals due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 for an emergency medical services medical director (closed October 16, 2025). The code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned with its stated clinical scope; vendors should verify with issuing bodies whether the code classification reflects their intended procurement category before investing proposal effort.
