UNSPSC 85602580 Extirpation of matter from large intestine, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with a mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no recent opportunities for the medical procedure it names; instead, recent solicitations tagged under this code represent general occupational health services, employee benefit administration, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing. The Phoenix Retirement Office, Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System have all posted opportunities under this code, but none involve gastrointestinal surgical procedures or related clinical interventions. State and local buyers appear to be using this code as a catch-all for health services procurement when more specific clinical or administrative taxonomy codes are unavailable or misapplied.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, with no dominant jurisdiction or region. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 (closing October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825 (closing October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services at ferry system locations; the City of Long Beach RFP HR26753 (closing October 7, 2026) for surgical benefit carve-out networks and Centers of Excellence; the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQF FY270052 (closing October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI 071626BNM (closing September 25, 2026) for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP 25-8414 (closed April 9, 2026, historical reference) for pharmacy benefit management. The code's recent activity does not correspond to its procedural name, signaling potential systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or vendor databases.
