This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device, via natural or artificial opening.

UNSPSC 85601704 Occlusion of sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening intraluminal device is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure terminology poorly aligned with current state and local government purchasing activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect gastrointestinal medical devices or procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data tagging error in the procurement system or a vendor-tagging artifact rather than a coherent commodity family reflecting current demand.

The issuing bodies include county and municipal human resources and health departments (Collier County, City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), local pension boards (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board), and juvenile justice entities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with activity spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award pool with no guaranteed volume). The code shows activity but does not reflect a cohesive procurement category aligned with the gastrointestinal medical device classification stated in the UNSPSC taxonomy.
