UNSPSC 85601876 Bypass ascending colon to sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving colon bypass using autologous tissue, but the six recent solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, independent medical evaluation services, and specialty emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the procedure the code names. The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing procurement offices or a data-classification error in the underlying source. No substantive activity relevant to the code's stated commodity is present in the recent-opportunities block.

The issuing bodies include city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems. Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid on August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach RFP HR26753 for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026). Given the code-to-opportunity mismatch, pursuit under this code is not advised without direct confirmation from an issuing body that the code correctly reflects their procurement scope.
