UNSPSC 85611440: Excision of common bile duct, via natural or artificial opening

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. 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 0FB97ZZ

UNSPSC 85611440 Excision of common bile duct, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that description. The actual solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve bile duct surgery or surgical procedures themselves. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for medical and health services administration work rather than for the specific procedure the code nominally names, creating significant mismatch between the code's intended scope and the work actually being solicited.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations statewide (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county health systems, county human resources divisions, and county juvenile justice departments. The code shows active recent procurement but with work that diverges substantially from the procedure named in the commodity definition; business development professionals should verify scope alignment carefully before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
