UNSPSC 85611227, Excision of ampulla of vater, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure and does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The opportunities reflect medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services—none of which involve procedural surgery or ampulla of vater excision. The code shows no recent state and local procurement activity relevant to its stated scope.

The posted opportunities under this code—from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management)—are administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and workforce augmentation rather than surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding of these opportunities or misalignment between the code definition and its current use in state and local procurement systems. Business development professionals should verify the intended UNSPSC category before pursuing any of these opportunities or clarify coding intent with the issuing bodies.
