This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of ampulla of vater, 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 0F9C0ZZ

UNSPSC 85611141 Drainage of ampulla of vater, open approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and pediatric emergency care — none of which involve drainage of the ampulla of vater or related biliary procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or use of the code as a placeholder in procurement systems not designed for medical procedure detail. State and local agencies purchasing under this code are not procuring surgical intervention for ampulla of vater pathology.

The recent opportunities indicate that state and local health procurement offices, county retirement systems, and transit authorities are instead using this code slot to tag general medical services contracts. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; the City of Long Beach and Collier County pursued pharmacy and surgical benefit administration; Harris County Juvenile Probation issued an RFI for emergency and specialty care for detained youth; and Santa Clara County Health System built a temporary staffing pool for ancillary clinical roles. This pattern indicates the code is a poor fit for vendor targeting and unlikely to surface genuine surgical-procedure opportunities in state and local procurement channels.
