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 0FQC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85611123 Repair ampulla of vater, open approach is a Commodity code nominally aligned with surgical procedural services, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code bear no meaningful connection to the code's stated scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach seeks surgery benefit carve-out program administration for its employee health plan; the Washington State Department of Transportation requests occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is seeking emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention; Collier County seeks pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System is building a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations address surgical repair of the ampulla of vater or relate to that specific clinical procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its formal taxonomy designation.

State and local procurement bodies are using this code to tag health services and medical administration work that falls outside its intended scope — a common mismatch when jurisdictions apply codes intended for clinical procedures to broader healthcare contracting. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city pension boards, city health benefits offices, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, and county health systems. The opportunities represent the full spectrum of state and local healthcare procurement activity except the code's nominal focus on surgical procedures. Pursuit of this code should reflect that current tagging patterns do not reliably indicate opportunities in surgical repair services; instead, activity clusters around health benefits administration, occupational medicine, medical staffing, and emergency care management.
