UNSPSC 85602826 Supplement left large intestine with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure code, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with the procedure's stated scope. The opportunities actually being solicited span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve large intestine supplementation or the surgical implantation of tissue substitutes. The mismatch between the code's clinical taxonomy and the procurement activity tagged to it suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a miscoded opportunity set. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County in Florida, Harris County in Texas, Santa Clara County in California), and cities (Phoenix and Long Beach). No standout repeat buyers appear across the opportunities.

The geographic spread covers Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for board-certified occupational medicine examinations across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting public safety pension disability determinations with a five-year contract maximum of $750,000; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program (due October 7, 2026) offering Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology procedures to approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code definition and the work being procured, this code shows little relevant recent activity for specialists in large intestine supplementation procedures.
