UNSPSC 85601873 Bypass ascending colon to ascending colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that in practice does not correspond to what state and local governments are actually procuring. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the device or procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch appears systematic: state and local procurement systems have applied this medical device code to broad health services work where the code does not belong. As a result, this code shows no relevant recent activity for a vendor pursuing biomedical device or surgical-procedure work.

No state or local government solicitations in the recent record actually solicit the product or service this Commodity code names. The opportunities shown are administrative health services, staffing, and benefits management contracts with issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System. This tagging error makes the code unsuitable as a signal for market opportunity or sourcing strategy.
