UNSPSC 85602101 Excision of sigmoid colon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured in the recent-opportunities block. The source contains five recent solicitations posted between February and April 2026, none of which involve surgical procedures or medical interventions matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect healthcare administration and services procurement: inmate medical and pharmacy services management, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director oversight. The mismatch between the code label—a specific surgical procedure—and the actual work being bought suggests either misclassification by the issuing jurisdictions or that the code as assigned does not capture relevant state and local healthcare procurement in this dataset.

The recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies and states: Muscogee County Prison administration in Columbus, Georgia (RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services with a May 15, 2026 response date and estimated monthly costs of $95,537.71); Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million); Monroe County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members with a sealed-proposal due date of April 16, 2026); San Mateo County Health in California (RFP for peer support services for peer workers with $580,000 in MHSA Innovation funding); and Santa Monica Fire Department in California (RFP for a fire department medical director with a three-year initial term). The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity; jurisdictions appear to have tagged these opportunities with a surgical-procedure code that bears no operational connection to healthcare administration, benefit management, or support services actually being procured.
