This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0F5C0ZZ

UNSPSC 85611149 Destruction of ampulla of vater, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted show no alignment with surgical destruction of the ampulla of vater, which is a highly specialized hepatobiliary procedure. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit programs for employee health plans—none of which involve the procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source opportunities or that the code is being misapplied to medical management and occupational health services that fall outside its stated definition.

The recent solicitations span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out for employees), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department youth custody medical services), and California (County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, no representative opportunities are directly relevant to the procedure named. Buyers evaluating this code should verify whether the categorization reflects intended procurement or represents a systemic misclassification in state and local procurement databases.
