UNSPSC 85601850, Bypass transverse colon to transverse colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that the source indicates bears a taxonomy mismatch with actual state and local procurement activity. Recent solicitations posted under this code do not involve gastroenterology devices, surgical implants, or the medical procedure it nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty care for youth in custody, and independent medical evaluation services. This divergence suggests the code is either misapplied by posting jurisdictions or serves as a catch-all classification for diverse health services and benefits administration that falls outside traditional device or surgical procurement.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal benefits departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County, Collier County), and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most recent postings from August and September 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit determinations at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual spending near $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.
