UNSPSC 85602603, Excision of right large intestine via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local government procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 instead reflect purchasing for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which constitute the surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the source data or a systematic misclassification of health-services procurement under this surgical-procedure commodity code.

The recent activity instead clusters around administrative health services, medical staffing, and benefits management across a diverse set of state and local issuing bodies. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance covering 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program covering knee, hip, spine, orthopedic, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures, due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows no decision-relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope and should not be pursued on the basis of these opportunities.
