UNSPSC 85603659 Excision of rectum, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code cover comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical procedures. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and actual buying activity in the state and local market.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; Santa Monica, California) and a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County, California). The recent opportunities range from annual inmate healthcare contracts with monthly costs of $95,537.71 (Muscogee County Prison, RFP due May 15, 2026) and pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (Collier County, RFP posted April 9, 2026) to virtual care services for approximately 2,300 county members (Monroe County, RFP due April 16, 2026) and a $580,000 three-year mental health peer support pilot (San Mateo County, RFP due July 2, 2025). These represent county-level healthcare contracting across multiple service lines, but no solicitations explicitly call for surgical procedures coded under this UNSPSC number. The code appears to be misapplied to healthcare administration and management services rather than surgical procedures, suggesting either tagging error at the source or use of the code as a broad healthcare catch-all by issuing procurement offices.
