UNSPSC 85601135, Bypass cecum to descending colon via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit gastroenterology procedures or surgical bypasses; instead, they reflect state and local government demand for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health plan carve-out networks, and temporary clinical staffing. The actual work state and local governments are buying includes occupational health examinations aligned with state regulatory requirements, medical record review and chronological summarization for retirement disability determinations, specialty surgical network curation and Centers of Excellence administration, and qualified vendor pools for ancillary clinical staffing across multiple disciplines. Issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems, with repeat activity from large municipal and county health systems and retirement benefit administrators.

Geographic spread includes Washington State, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with recent solicitations concentrated in the Pacific Coast and Southwest regions. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, IFB pricing model with 40 percent cost weighting and 60 percent capability evaluation); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services including disability record summarization for approximately 75 annual applications (proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (proposals due October 7, 2026, targeting Anthem Blue Cross PPO members with January–March 2027 selection); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code itself does not appear to be an active procurement category for the specific medical procedure it nominally describes.
