UNSPSC 85601149 Bypass cecum to descending colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities solicited under this code show little to no alignment with surgical procedures. Instead, the opportunities reflect a wide range of health services procurement including occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical care networks — none of which match the narrow procedural scope of the code name. The issuing bodies are diverse: city retirement offices (Phoenix), city human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county commissioners offices (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). This pattern suggests the code may be miscategorized in state and local procurement systems or applied as a placeholder for broader health services categories.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum and an October 16, 2026 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations with an October 9, 2026 deadline and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out benefits with an October 7, 2026 response deadline; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing with an October 7, 2026 deadline. Given the mismatch between the code's procedural name and the health-services-administration opportunities actually being solicited, vendors should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged with this number.
