UNSPSC 85471936 Bypass spinal canal to peritoneal cavity with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal procedural medical taxonomy and actual state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit the specific surgical procedure the code names; instead, they reflect a mix of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs, and youth detention medical services. State and local issuing bodies using this code include city retirement offices, county boards of county commissioners, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal human resources divisions. The work being tagged under this code spans occupational medical exams for ferry workers, independent medical evaluations for disability pension applicants, pharmacy program administration covering thousands of employees and dependents, and specialty surgical networks for municipal employees—none of which directly relate to the percutaneous spinal bypass procedure named in the code itself.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with cost-based scoring and a two-year base term plus optional extensions (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach requesting surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees through Centers of Excellence networks (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows activity in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, though the taxonomic mismatch suggests this code may be incorrectly applied to these opportunities in state procurement systems.
