UNSPSC 85611144: Drainage of common bile duct with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of common bile duct with drainage device, 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 0F9900Z

UNSPSC 85611144 Drainage of common bile duct with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity as evidenced in recent solicitations. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure—open drainage of the common bile duct with placement of a drainage device—yet recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical centers of excellence networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations procure the medical device, supplies, or surgical services the code nominally describes. The code shows no relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing state and local contracts around the actual scope the UNSPSC taxonomy names.

The mismatch between the code and the opportunities it has been tagged with suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement databases or a systematic misapplication of the code to broader healthcare services and staffing categories that do not correspond to the specific procedure-level taxonomy the code represents. Business development professionals should treat this code as presently inactive for procurement purposes under its nominal scope and verify the actual UNSPSC coding applied to healthcare service opportunities of genuine interest before pursuing bids.
