UNSPSC 85601846 Bypass transverse colon to cutaneous via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's medical procedural designation does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under this code; recent solicitations center instead on occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which concern gastrointestinal surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual procurement tagging practice for this code.

The six recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, RFP, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program, RFP, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington locations, RFP, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 enrolled members, RFP, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Bidders should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted under this code.
