UNSPSC 85603364 Removal of feeding device from lower intestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent procurement activity under state and local contracts. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with the medical procedure specified in the code's definition. Instead, the opportunities reflect a much broader scope: independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs through Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance services, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical specialties. None of these solicitations involve feeding devices or lower intestinal tract procedures; the code appears to have been applied incorrectly or as a catch-all classification for health services procurement more broadly.

The issuing bodies across the recent postings include a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county health system (Santa Clara County, California), and two cities (Phoenix and Long Beach, Arizona and California respectively). Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no apparent concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State Ferries locations (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's vendor pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the divergence between the code's nominal definition and actual solicitation scope, business development professionals should verify the accurate UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
