I have deleted, uninstalled the microsoft office package multiple times and it keeps reappearing all the time. Microsoft Teams opens and pops up every now and then too.

@Elijah Edmunds, Hope things going well.
After researching some information again, I found that Intune uses the Spotlight index in MacOS as the detection method for application installs. While the Office Suite is assigned as a Required application if this index is corrupted or in the process of regenerating (likely to happen after an OS update from perusing the Apple forums) I'm thinking that Intune believes the application is missing so launches an installer. Since the installs bypass any user feedback active applications just shut down and are reinstalled.
You can try to remove Office as a Required application and check whether this issue can be fixed.
Or there is a related issue in the following link you can refer.
Hope it will help.
@Elijah Edmunds, May I know the status from your side? If there is any update, feel free to let me know.
Is it possible, that Office is still a required deployment in your Intune tenant? That would the reason why it re-installs itself.
