UNSPSC 85602218 Release descending colon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific medical procedure or device code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect this narrow clinical scope. Instead, the code has been applied to a broad range of healthcare service procurement activities, including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and what is actually being solicited suggests either broad tagging practices by issuing offices or data quality variation in how these opportunities are classified in state and local systems.

The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions and service models: Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services in Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management for county employees and dependents in Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care for county members in Florida), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (mental health peer support pilot in California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (emergency medicine medical director in California). Recent opportunities include RFP No. 26-0008 from Columbus Consolidated Government for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, due May 15, 2026, with an incumbent contract valued at approximately $95,537.71 monthly; RFP 25-8414 from Collier County for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026; RFP from Monroe County for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026; and RFP No. 2025-007 from San Mateo County for a Mental Health Services Act peer support pilot funded at $580,000 total. Geographic activity centers in Florida, Georgia, and California, with no clear national concentration.
