UNSPSC 85611161: Bypass common bile duct to cystic duct with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass common bile duct to cystic duct with intraluminal 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 0F190D8

UNSPSC 85611161 Bypass common bile duct to cystic duct with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, shows little relevant procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency youth detention medical services. None of these solicitations involve procurement of the specific surgical procedure or device named in the code.

The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this UNSPSC code inconsistently or incorrectly to health services and staffing contracts that fall outside its intended scope. The recent opportunities do reflect broad health system purchasing across counties, cities, and state agencies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—but they are fundamentally misaligned with a code designed to classify a specific surgical intervention. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for practical state and local procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for health service or medical staffing opportunities before pursuing.
