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 0FL93ZZ

UNSPSC 85611220 Occlusion of common bile duct, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope of a specific medical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal relevance to the code's abstract definition. The opportunities reveal a substantial mismatch between the code taxonomy and actual buying activity. Recent solicitations under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and inpatient care for youth in detention, and specialty medical services. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). This diversity suggests the code is being misapplied as a catch-all for medical services procurement that does not fit elsewhere in the taxonomy.

The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas based on recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, covering 14 ferry system locations statewide with a two-year term and optional five-year extension; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing services across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026, structured as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified-vendor-pool vehicle with no guaranteed volume. The code shows active procurement activity, but the heterogeneity of the work and the mismatch with the procedure-specific code name suggest caution in relying on this code to forecast future opportunities in a particular service line.
