This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass jejunum to sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic.

UNSPSC 85603929 Bypass jejunum to sigmoid colon via natural or artificial opening autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that bears no substantive connection to the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure—a gastrointestinal anastomosis technique—yet the recent opportunities solicited under this code do not involve surgical procedure procurement, medical devices, or clinical supplies aligned with that description. Instead, the opportunities posted under UNSPSC 85603929 span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out program administration, and specialty emergency care for youth in custody. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding of these solicitations within state and local procurement systems or a fundamental divergence between the code's intended scope and actual classification practice.

The recent opportunities under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies—a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), county departments and special districts (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), a city retirement system (City of Phoenix), and a city employee health benefits program (City of Long Beach)—spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million; and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of procurement aligned with the code's surgical-procedure nomenclature, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors supplying gastrointestinal surgical services or related devices to state and local buyers.
