UNSPSC 85602247 Drainage of descending colon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are currently buying. Recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal procedure-specific scope. The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems, including the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity includes Washington, Texas, Arizona, California, and Florida.

Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals with baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for shipyard and vessel crew members; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services covering approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability benefit applications at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 (due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties on a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor basis. The code shows substantial mismatch between its nominal taxonomy and the administrative and occupational health services being procured, suggesting either systematic miscoding at the point of solicitation or that this commodity code is not operationally relevant to current state and local procurement activity.
