UNSPSC 85601771 Dilation of ascending colon via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — address general healthcare administration and occupational health services, not the specific clinical procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either mis-tagging in state and local procurement systems or that this particular procedure does not drive state and local contracting activity at present.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health benefits administrators (Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), regional health authorities (Santa Clara County), and public employee health consortia. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with no clear pattern of repeat procurement specifically for this UNSPSC code. Absent opportunities aligned with the code's actual scope, vendors should verify code alignment before pursuing qualification under this classification.
