UNSPSC 85602188 Bypass ascending colon to transverse colon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluation services — none of which involve gastrointestinal surgical procedures or synthetic implants. The code appears to be a medical taxonomy placeholder that state and local procurement offices have applied inconsistently to health services solicitations, creating a mismatch between the UNSPSC nominal scope and active contracting activity.

Recent solicitations span multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no meaningful concentration: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services on September 16, 2026 with responses due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services with a proposal deadline of October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services in August 2026; and Collier County (Florida) solicited pharmacy benefit management services. The code shows no meaningful recent procurement activity aligned to its stated scope.
