UNSPSC 85611636: Extirpation of matter from cystic duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from cystic duct, open approach. 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 0FC80ZZ

UNSPSC 85611636 Extirpation of matter from cystic duct, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not align with the work actually being procured under this tag. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for bile duct stone removal, yet the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency services for detained youth. These solicitations address health plan administration, medical staffing, and occupational health compliance—none of which relate to the performance of surgical extirpation procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement database or misapplication of a clinical procedure code to administrative and staffing health services.

The source shows no recent state and local opportunities that actually involve the procurement or contracting for cystic duct extirpation procedures themselves. The geographic spread of the six opportunities on record spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, but this diversity reflects only the jurisdictions and health systems that have misapplied the code to non-surgical services, not a market for the surgical procedure the code describes. Given this disconnect, the code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors who provide or support cystic duct extirpation services.
