UNSPSC 85603700: Lower digestive system-rectum anus, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 25 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the lower digestive system - rectum and anus with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0D.

UNSPSC 85603700 Lower digestive system-rectum anus, percutaneous approach is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it span unrelated healthcare services including comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve percutaneous lower digestive system procedures or related clinical supplies. The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being bought suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement databases or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy application and healthcare service procurement at the local level.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County in Florida, and San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and California, with isolated opportunities in Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include Muscogee County Prison's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (posted April 15, 2026; due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (posted April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (posted March 14, 2026). Given the code's procedural definition and the absence of matching clinical procurements in the recent record, firms pursuing work under this UNSPSC code should verify code assignment in individual RFPs before pursuing opportunities, as the taxonomy application appears unreliable for this commodity.
