UNSPSC 85603719 Removal of artificial sphincter from anus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for a county benefits consortium, virtual primary and urgent care services for a county health plan, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve the surgical removal of artificial sphincters or any comparable colorectal or urological prosthetic procedures. The code appears to have been applied to these health care and related-services solicitations in error rather than reflecting genuine procurement in its stated commodity scope.

State and local governments issue opportunities under this code sporadically and across disparate health care domains. The issuing bodies include county corrections departments, county procurement offices managing benefits on behalf of county health consortiums, county boards of commissioners overseeing employee health plans, county behavioral health agencies, and municipal fire departments. The recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and California, with no geographic concentration. Because the opportunities do not correspond to the code's stated commodity definition, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes unless and until solicitations explicitly reference sphincter-prosthetic removal or comparable surgical supplies and services.
