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 0FP4X0Z

UNSPSC 85611508 Removal of drainage device from gallbladder, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve gallbladder procedures or drainage-device removal; instead, they span comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the health care contracting work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County, and Santa Monica), a county health department (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), and a municipal fire department, suggesting the code may be a misclassification artifact rather than a meaningful procurement category.

The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect broader health care administration and clinical services contracting rather than procedural or device-removal work. Columbus Consolidated Government's Purchasing Division issued RFP No. 26-0008 on April 15, 2026, for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, due May 15, 2026; Collier County Procurement Services issued RFP 25-8414 on April 9, 2026, for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members; Monroe County issued an RFP on March 14, 2026, for virtual primary and urgent care services, due April 16, 2026; and Santa Monica Fire Department issued an RFP on February 25, 2026, for a fire department medical director, due October 16, 2025. The geographic spread reflects Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica), and scattered activity across state and local health systems. The code's recent activity offers little signal for vendors pursuing work that genuinely involves surgical procedures or device management; the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual contracting work suggests this is a low-utility category for business development targeting state and local health care procurement.
