UNSPSC 85611137 Extirpation of matter from ampulla of vater, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure (endoscopic or open removal of material from the ampulla of Vater, the opening where the pancreatic and bile ducts enter the small intestine), but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical procedure performance or procurement. Instead, state and local issuers have tagged the code to solicitations for independent medical evaluations, disability benefit determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, hospital-based emergency and specialty care, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the procedural definition embedded in the code's name. This mismatch suggests either miscoding or repurposing of the UNSPSC designation by the issuing offices.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing qualification pool RFP, due October 7, 2026), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP, due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026). The code shows no concentration among issuing bodies — each opportunity comes from a different jurisdiction — and no repeat buyers in the recent window. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a reliable procurement signal for firms pursuing surgical, gastroenterological, or pancreaticobiliary service opportunities at the state and local level.
