UNSPSC 85611138: Extirpation of matter from common bile duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from common bile duct, 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 0FC90ZZ

UNSPSC 85611138 Extirpation of matter from common bile duct, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with surgical interventions on the common bile duct. Instead, the opportunities reflect a range of occupational health, disability evaluation, medical surveillance, and health benefit administration services that fall outside the code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach is procuring surgical procedure carve-out benefits management; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is seeking pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. This pattern indicates a significant misclassification between the UNSPSC code and the work actually being purchased.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its surgical procedure designation. The opportunities listed span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, representing diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, city HR departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, and county health systems. The response dates cluster in October 2026, with the notable exception of Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP, which carried an April 2026 deadline now in the past. No opportunities in the block target the procedural work implied by the code's name, suggesting that either the code has been misapplied to these solicitations or the code itself sees minimal relevant procurement activity in the state and local market.
