UNSPSC 85610000: Surgical interventions or procedures of the hepatobiliary system

This family of surgical interventions or procedures is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS as code 0F Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas.

UNSPSC 85610000 Surgical interventions or procedures of the hepatobiliary system is a Family code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The posted opportunities include independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations (Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefit administration for employee health plans (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve hepatobiliary surgical procedures or their clinical management. The code appears to have been applied to opportunities that address occupational health, medical administration, benefits management, and temporary staffing — functions outside the scope of surgical intervention in the biliary system.

The recent opportunities show activity across state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Collier County), county juvenile justice (Harris County), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix) and human resources functions (City of Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. However, because the code's nominal scope (hepatobiliary surgery) does not match the work actually being procured, this code does not offer a meaningful signal for firms pursuing surgical service delivery or related clinical contracting under state and local procurement. A review of the correct UNSPSC codes for occupational health, medical administration, employee benefits, and temporary staffing would be more productive.
