UNSPSC 85611427: Occlusion of common bile duct, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of common bile duct, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0FL97ZZ

UNSPSC 85611427 Occlusion of common bile duct, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve bile duct occlusion procedures or interventional gastroenterology. The code appears to have been applied to general healthcare services solicitations in error, creating a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and what is actually being bought.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the persistent misclassification between the code's medical procedure name and the operational services actually being solicited, this code offers limited decision relevance for targeted pursuit; opportunities should be tracked through functional healthcare service categories rather than this procedure-specific Commodity code.
