UNSPSC 85601851 Bypass transverse colon to cutaneous via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical-device scope. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, and temporary health professional staffing for a county health system. None of these solicitations reference colon-bypass devices, synthetic substitutes, or endoscopic procedures. The mismatch between the code's technical medical-device title and the actual scope of work being solicited—which centers on health services administration, staffing, and benefit programs rather than surgical implants or devices—suggests either systematic miscoding or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for its intended commodity purpose.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state departments (Washington Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and health systems. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million, initial term January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028). No procurement activity under this code aligns with colostomy-related medical devices or endoscopic bypass procedures.
