UNSPSC 85601636 Supplement ascending colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — medical devices for gastrointestinal intervention — does not match the recent opportunities tagged under it. Those opportunities instead span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical procedure networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve colon supplements or endoscopic devices. The issuing bodies posting under this code include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System). This represents a diverse mix of state and local procurement categories with no meaningful concentration among repeat buyers.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, Florida, California, Washington, and Texas based on recent postings, with no discernible regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's tagging appears to reflect metadata misclassification rather than actual procurement need. No recent state or local solicitations for colon supplements or endoscopic medical devices are present in the opportunity block.
