UNSPSC 85601837 Bypass transverse colon to rectum, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that sits at the medical and surgical procedure classification tier. The code's nominal scope—a specific gastrointestinal surgical procedure—does not align with recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The recent opportunities instead reflect broader medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and health professional staffing services. This mismatch suggests that either the code was applied incorrectly to these solicitations or the code carries minimal relevant activity in current state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies across multiple states. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for public safety personnel disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026). The City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program under its Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, is seeking occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical spending around $8.7 million annually (RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These opportunities reflect health administration and staffing activity rather than specialized surgical procedures, indicating limited relevance to the code's stated scope.
