UNSPSC 85611117: Replacement of ampulla of vater with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of ampulla of vater with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0FRC0KZ

UNSPSC 85611117 Replacement of ampulla of vater with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 — including independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — bear no connection to surgical reconstruction of the ampulla of vater. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between how this code is being used in state and local procurement and its clinical definition. Issuers include county health systems (Santa Clara), county courts and juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city pension boards (Phoenix), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County), none of which appear to be sourcing surgical reconstructive procedures themselves. These opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the geographic distribution reflects broader healthcare and public-sector staffing and benefits administration activity rather than orthopedic surgical services. Without opportunities that directly map to ampulla of vater replacement procedures, this code is not actionable for business development purposes in state and local procurement.
