This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass ascending colon to transverse colon via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic.

UNSPSC 85601866 Bypass ascending colon to transverse colon via natural or artificial opening nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code with a nominal clinical-procedure scope that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The six recent opportunities posted under this code procure occupational and employment-related medical services, benefits administration, and health professional staffing—none of which involve the gastrointestinal surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span city retirement systems, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, and county health systems across multiple states, but the work being actually solicited bears no relation to the code's stated scope.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (response due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit networks through Centers of Excellence (response due October 7, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (response due September 25, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (proposal deadline April 9, 2026). The code shows activity in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the taxonomic mismatch signals a classification error rather than genuine procurement interest in the stated procedure.
