About UNSPSC 85601720

UNSPSC 85601720 Fragmentation in descending colon, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code designation suggests medical or surgical fragmentation procedures, yet the five recent opportunities in the source block span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and emergency medical services direction — none of which involve fragmentation procedures. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement activity indicates the code sees little genuine usage in current state and local solicitations.

The geographic spread of the sparse, off-code activity spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government / Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department), with no clear pattern of concentrated activity. The most recent opportunities include Muscogee County Prison's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026, Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services posted April 9, 2026, and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services due April 16, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's stated purpose and all recent solicitations, pursuit under this code is not recommended unless the source material itself reflects a data-tagging error within the state or local procurement system.
