UNSPSC 42143904 Fecal incontinence anal manometer assessments (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's abstract name describes a specialized diagnostic medical device or service for gastrointestinal assessment, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it include irrigation system controller upgrades, occupational medical surveillance services, medical supplies and equipment procurement, utility locating services, law enforcement equipment cooperative purchasing, and travel sprinkler equipment acquisition. None of these solicitations involve fecal incontinence assessment or anal manometry. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), counties (Pasco County, Georgia World Congress Center Authority), cities (Richardson, Pembroke Pines, Fort Worth), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties), indicating diverse jurisdictional sources across health care, transportation, facilities management, and municipal operations.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Washington, Georgia, and Florida based on recent postings, with Texas showing particular concentration (Richardson, Fort Worth, Abilene solicitations). Representative recent opportunities include the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's RFP for Calsense Irrigation Controller Upgrades (due October 7, 2026) covering equipment, programming, and training at two Atlanta-area locations with firm fixed pricing by location; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) requiring baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, physician-supervised, with cost-based scoring; and the City of Richardson's ITB for three traveling sprinkler irrigation systems (due June 11, 2026) with mandatory pre-bid conference and Bonfire portal submission. The code exhibits substantial mismatch between its commodity name and current buying activity, suggesting either systematic miscoding in the source data or that the code itself has limited current relevance to state and local procurement.
