UNSPSC 85611100: Common bile duct-ampulla of vater, open approach

This class includes one or more of 24 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the common bile duct and the ampulla of vater with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0F.

UNSPSC 85611100 Common bile duct-ampulla of vater, open approach is a Class code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity recently posted under it. The recent opportunities block contains six state and local solicitations — none of which involve surgical procedures on the common bile duct or ampulla of vater. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for centers of excellence, and specialty medical services for detained youth. This mismatch signals either a cataloging error in the source data or a systematic tagging failure at the issuing bodies. The code shows no relevant recent activity for state and local procurement professionals evaluating work aligned with the UNSPSC category name.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a municipal health system (Santa Clara Health System), though none of the opportunities reflect the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No representative opportunities merit discussion because the code's abstract name and the actual work being solicited diverge entirely; pursuing vendors should treat this code as inactive for procurement planning purposes and flag the tagging discrepancy with state and local procurement offices directly.
