UNSPSC 85611120: Replacement of common bile duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of common bile duct 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 0FR90KZ

UNSPSC 85611120 (Replacement of common bile duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach) is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a surgical procedure category — and recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve bile duct replacement or surgical procedures aligned with the code's medical procedure descriptor. Instead, the tagged solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing placement. None of these services involve the specific surgical procedure named in the code, and most represent administrative, staffing, or broader healthcare delivery functions rather than a defined surgical intervention.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County, California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code's recent opportunities do not align with its stated commodity definition, treating this code as actionable for surgical-procedure contracting would be misleading. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing offices or a data taxonomy issue at the source. Business development professionals should verify directly with issuing bodies whether future solicitations under this code will reflect the surgical-procedure scope or continue with administrative and staffing services.
