UNSPSC 85604006, Bypass ileum to descending colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity), describes a specific surgical procedure code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this designation. The recent opportunities solicited under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management services, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical care carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which relate to gastrointestinal bypass surgery or surgical procedures generally. This code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement; the mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the work actually being bought suggests the code may have been misapplied in the underlying data sources.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity concentrated in California, Texas, Washington, Arizona, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle). None of these opportunities involve surgical procedures or medical devices.
