UNSPSC 85601738, Excision of transverse colon via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure and does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under related medical-services RFPs and RFQs. Recent opportunities tagged near this code or its family involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute procedure-specific surgical services like transverse colon excision. The issuing bodies spanning these tangentially-related health-services solicitations include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose districts (pension boards, health systems), but their procurement focus is on administrative health services, staffing, and benefit management rather than surgical procedures themselves.

The geographic spread of recent health-services activity includes Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (WSDOT). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). No solicitations in the recent-opportunities block are seeking surgical-procedure contracting at the Commodity level; the code appears inactive in current state and local procurement markets.
