UNSPSC 85602427 Bypass descending colon to descending colon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention medical services — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific medical procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code name and the actual services being purchased suggests either a data-quality issue in how opportunities were classified or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the work being performed.

The opportunities that do appear under this code come from a diverse set of issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and reflect multi-state geographic spread. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with extension options), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing across multiple specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's frequent misuse for administrative, occupational, and staffing services unrelated to its procedural description suggests limited utility for prospecting under this specific taxonomy entry.
