UNSPSC 85611412 Resection of common bile duct, via natural or artificial opening (Commodity) shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure code and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The source contains no solicitations for surgical procedures, operative interventions, or hospital-based clinical services matching the code's abstract scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect administrative and clinical support services—independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, medical record management, pharmacy benefits administration, and temporary health professional staffing—that fall outside the code's surgical or procedural intent and do not constitute the direct delivery of the named procedure.

The issuing bodies span state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county human resources and health systems (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix), and city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach), posting RFPs and RFIs across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington between late July and September 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations (response due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFP for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). The code's recent procurement activity reflects misclassification rather than genuine market demand for the specific surgical procedure named; no targeted pursuit of this code is advisable without clarification from issuing bodies on whether the tagging is correct.
