UNSPSC 85602963 Destruction of large intestine, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The most recent solicitations posted under this code are for independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing services (County of Santa Clara Health System). These opportunities span healthcare administration, benefits management, occupational health compliance, and staffing services—none of which involve large-intestine surgical procedures or related operative services.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work solicited suggests either a classification error in the state and local systems posting these opportunities or a misalignment in how the code is being applied at the issuing-body level. State and local procurement offices do not routinely solicit specific surgical procedures; they solicit healthcare management, staffing, compliance, and benefits services. Vendors evaluating pursuit under this code should treat it as inactive for state and local work and verify the correct code family or commodity tier before investing in business development or response resources.
