UNSPSC 85603909 Bypass ileum to sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that sits at the intersection of medical procedure taxonomy and state and local health-benefit administration. Recent opportunities tagged under this code show no direct procurement of the surgical procedure itself; instead, state and local bodies are soliciting medical evaluation, benefit management, and staffing services to support health plans and occupational health programs. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System are all issuing RFPs and RFIs under this code for independent medical examinations, surgery benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare services delivery, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The actual work being purchased comprises medical record review and summarization, scheduling of independent evaluations, occupational health examinations, hospital and specialty care contracting, and ancillary clinical staffing placement — none of which map directly to the code's nominal surgical-procedure descriptor.

The recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability applications with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000 and a due date of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach sought a surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence networks with responses due October 7, 2026 and anticipated go-live April 1, 2027; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. The code shows minimal activity directly aligned with its stated procedure category and may reflect administrative or default tagging rather than genuine procurement intent for bypass procedures.
