UNSPSC 85603739: Insertion of artificial sphincter into anus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of artificial sphincter into anus, percutaneous 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 0DHQ3LZ

UNSPSC 85603739 Insertion of artificial sphincter into anus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not align with its clinical scope—they instead reflect healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platform services, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction. No state or local solicitation in the block actually procures the surgical procedure or medical device that the code nominates.

The mismatch between code and opportunity content suggests either cataloging error in the source data or misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy by issuing bodies. State and local governments do purchase healthcare services and medical equipment through procurement processes, but the opportunities present here—Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care, San Mateo County peer support for peer workers, and Santa Monica Fire Department medical director services—are not instances of the insertional surgical procedure this code describes. A business development professional evaluating pursuit under this code should verify with issuing bodies whether the code assignment reflects their actual procurement need before investing in proposal development.
