UNSPSC 85611439: Excision of common bile duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of common bile duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0FB98ZZ

UNSPSC 85611439 Excision of common bile duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract title references a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve bile duct excision or endoscopic procedures. The mismatch reflects either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or categorical drift in how the code is being applied; state and local buyers are using this code to tag general medical services procurement rather than discrete surgical procedures.

Activity remains scattered across multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no meaningful concentration: the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach sought surgical benefit carve-out program administration (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners requested pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no state appearing more than once. The code does not appear to carry decision-relevant procurement signals for vendors targeting state and local opportunities — the cataloging mismatch and absence of bile duct excision or related endoscopic procedure work suggests this code may require recalibration or that opportunities under it warrant individual evaluation rather than pool-level characterization.
