UNSPSC 85611451 Dilation of ampulla of vater, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific gastroenterological procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and pediatric detention facility medical services—none of which involve ampulla of vater dilation. The mismatch suggests that the code has been applied as a catch-all taxonomy marker for health services procurement rather than as a procedure-specific identifier. State and local buying activity under this code does not reflect the clinical procedure the code nominally describes.

Recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no concentration in any particular jurisdiction or service line. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued a Request for Proposals for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (due October 7, 2026); Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. The Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington with no pattern that would signal procurement concentration or a meaningful market signal aligned with the code's nominal scope.
