UNSPSC 85602524 Supplement left large intestine via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal procedural scope. The code's title describes a specific surgical procedure involving tissue grafting to the colon, yet the state and local contract opportunities posted under this code in recent months do not solicit that service. Instead, the tagged opportunities center on occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which align with large-intestine reconstruction surgery. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state or local procurement systems or use of the code as a placeholder in broader healthcare service solicitations that do not map cleanly to a single commodity line.

The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract for disability benefit evaluations; and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing RFP due October 7, 2026, establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical positions. The disconnect between the code's procedural title and the actual work being bought signals that this code is not a reliable signal for pursuing gastrointestinal surgical services in state and local procurement.
