UNSPSC 85601860 Bypass ascending colon to transverse colon, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. Recent opportunities solicited under the code show a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal medical device/procedure category and the services being procured.

The most-recent opportunities reveal that state and local issuing bodies are using this code to tag occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty healthcare services for detained youth — none of which are gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach sought a surgery benefit management program (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, sought occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414); and the County of Santa Clara Health System sought to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These represent diverse categories of medical administration, staffing, and benefit management rather than procedural devices or services. The code shows no recent activity aligned with its stated scope of gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures for state and local procurement.
