This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cecum to rectum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85601358 Bypass cecum to rectum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect instead occupational and administrative medical services, employee health benefits management, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve bypass surgery or nonautologous tissue substitutes. The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county commissioners' procurement offices — a diverse mix of administrative, operational, and benefits-focused buyers rather than surgical service providers.

The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure description and the actual scope of work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC taxonomy and the services these jurisdictions are actually purchasing. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical-benefits carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. The code shows no clear pattern of coherent procurement targeting — vendors evaluating this code should verify category alignment with their service offerings before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
