UNSPSC 85601144 Bypass cecum to ascending colon via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities tagged with this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management services, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve gastrointestinal surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical bypass procedure performed on a specific anatomical site) bears no relationship to the medical services, staffing, benefits administration, and occupational health programs that state and local issuers are actually buying under this tag.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation and health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and regional health authorities. Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with procurement notices issued between July and September 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure centers of excellence (response due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated definition; potential pursuers should verify with issuing bodies whether this code assignment reflects a data-entry error or a nonstandard tagging practice before committing business development resources.
