UNSPSC 85601857 Bypass ascending colon to rectum, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical services and staffing programs state and local governments are actually procuring under this taxonomy assignment. The six recent opportunities posted in the source span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and independent medical examinations—none of which involve the endoscopic gastrointestinal procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems, suggesting the code's application is inconsistent with actual procurement intent.

Recent opportunities span Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000.

The code appears to be a data quality or taxonomy misclassification; business development professionals should confirm actual procurement intent with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
