UNSPSC 85601817 Bypass sigmoid colon to cutaneous via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the gastrointestinal surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch indicates that this code assignment appears to be a data classification error rather than a reflection of genuine procurement activity in the category.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal benefits departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (County of Santa Clara), and county procurement divisions (Collier County). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Without verified opportunities that actually solicit the surgical procedure this code nominally describes, the code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors in gastrointestinal surgical device supply or related services.
