UNSPSC 85601870 Bypass ascending colon to sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that appears to denote a specific gastrointestinal medical device or procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of this device or related surgical services. Instead, the sourced opportunities span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a bypass procedure or synthetic substitute implant. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data classification error; the code shows little relevant recent activity for the product or service its name denotes.

The recent opportunities instead reflect a broader state and local market for health services contracting, with issuing bodies including county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System establishing a temporary staffing pool), county procurement offices (Collier County managing pharmacy benefits for approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix requesting disability medical evaluations for approximately 75 annual applications), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations), and county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department soliciting acute and specialty care for detained youth). Solicitations posted between late July and mid-September 2026 span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Without evidence that state and local governments are actively procuring the specific bypass procedure or device this Commodity code nominally represents, this code does not present a viable pursuit target based on current market activity.
