UNSPSC 85604032 Bypass jejunum to ascending colon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect actual gastrointestinal bypass surgery procurement. Instead, state and local governments are using this code to solicit health professional services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and medical evaluation services — none of which align with the code's stated surgical scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services including disability benefit medical record review and physician examination coordination; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories; and Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services. These opportunities reflect administrative, occupational health, and staffing procurement rather than surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies are primarily large county and state health systems, transit authorities, and local government HR and procurement offices rather than surgical centers or hospitals performing the procedure itself. Recent activity clusters in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. No single state or jurisdiction dominates; the geographic spread is moderate across the West and Southeast. The code shows little evidence of actual bypass surgery procurement and appears to be a tagging mismatch in state and local procurement systems — vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope in each solicitation notice rather than rely on the code's nominal description.
