UNSPSC 85602139 Bypass descending colon to descending colon, open approach is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, and specialty healthcare administration services — not medical procedures themselves, but the clinical assessment, record management, and care-coordination infrastructure that supports employee retirement determinations, workplace occupational safety, and managed-care network administration. The work includes independent medical record review and summarization, scheduling and coordination of diagnostic examinations conducted by licensed physicians or board-certified occupational medicine specialists, disability benefit eligibility assessments, and pharmacy benefit management administration for government employee populations. Issuing bodies span county human resources departments, municipal pension boards, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county juvenile justice agencies. Pension boards and municipal retirement offices appear as repeat buyers, alongside county health authorities managing employee health benefits and occupational safety compliance.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the densest concentration in California. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical carve-out benefit program serving approximately 3,800 enrolled city employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027); and Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, five-year qualified-list model).
