UNSPSC 85602172 Bypass transverse colon to cutaneous with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, temporary clinical staffing services, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a gastrointestinal surgical technique—and the actual work being solicited by state and local governments. The opportunities span medical administration, benefits management, and occupational health compliance rather than the performance of the procedure itself. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health departments, county commissioners, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments.

The recent opportunities cluster geographically in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety disability determinations, RFP due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out network management for municipal employees, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 state ferry locations, RFP due October 9, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP due April 9, 2026, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing qualification pool, proposals due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026). The code does not reflect actual surgical procedure contracting by state and local governments and warrants reconsideration for proper taxonomic alignment.
