UNSPSC 85602147 Bypass descending colon to descending colon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The source shows no meaningful activity directly corresponding to the code's nominal scope; instead, the opportunities reflect healthcare administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—services that fall outside the code's technical purchasing intent. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the underlying procurement records or that the code is not being correctly applied by the issuing bodies that have tagged these opportunities.

State and local buyers posting under this code represent a geographic and sectoral range: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; Harris County's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code name and the actual opportunities, firms pursuing contracts under this code should verify the appropriate UNSPSC classification before responding.
