UNSPSC 85601879 Bypass ascending colon to ascending colon via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that designates a specific surgical procedure code in the medical device and procedure taxonomy, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not reflect surgical implant procurement or procedure-related supplies. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management administration, specialty surgical procedure networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the anatomical or procedural specificity the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or use of this code as a catch-all medical services placeholder in state and local procurement systems.

State and local buyers posting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits and Centers of Excellence networks (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement pattern aligned to its anatomical scope and carries material risk of miscoding or category misuse in upcoming opportunities.
