UNSPSC 85601649 Reposition sigmoid colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and recent state and local procurement activity. The code does not map to endoscopic surgical services or inpatient hospital procedures; instead, recent opportunities tagged under it reflect broader healthcare service contracting by counties and special districts — including correctional-facility medical and pharmacy services, county employee pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer mental health support for healthcare workers, and fire department medical direction. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code to healthcare service aggregations rather than to the specific sigmoid repositioning procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing-body mix spans county governments (Collier County, Monroe County, and Santa Monica Fire Department in Florida and California) and a county behavioral health authority (San Mateo County), with one correctional healthcare contract from Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia. Geographic activity centers on Florida (Collier, Monroe counties) and California (San Mateo, Santa Monica), with Georgia representing the sole recent southeastern opportunity. Representative recent procurements include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (RFP, due May 15, 2026, current monthly cost $95,537.71); Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (RFP, due April 9, 2026); and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (RFP, due April 16, 2026, with contract start anticipated October 1, 2026). This code does not reliably track state and local procurement in endoscopic or procedural surgical services and warrants verification against the actual commodities and services your firm intends to pursue.
