UNSPSC 85601826 Bypass descending colon to sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic (Commodity) shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, information requests for juvenile detention healthcare, and similar administrative or occupational health services—none of which align with the code's specific medical device or procedure scope naming a gastrointestinal bypass surgical technique using nonautologous tissue substitutes performed endoscopically. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical procedure scope and the administrative, staffing, and benefits-management services actually tagged under it suggests the code is either rarely used for state and local procurement or has been applied to opportunities outside its intended medical device and procedure taxonomy.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city benefits administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and regional detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department)—a mix typical of benefits procurement rather than procedural medical device sourcing. Recent postings span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Without a clear pattern of opportunities soliciting the medical device or endoscopic procedural services the code nominally describes, business development professionals should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before investing pursuit effort.
