UNSPSC 85611639: Excision of gallbladder, 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 0FB40ZZ

UNSPSC 85611639 Excision of gallbladder, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work appearing in recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent solicitations — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — involve healthcare program administration, care coordination, and clinical oversight rather than surgical procedures. The code appears to be a misclassification in the source records; gallbladder excision is a specific surgical intervention that does not align with the healthcare services and management contracts actually being solicited by state and local entities in this dataset.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include county governments (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia via Columbus Consolidated Government, Collier County in Florida, and Monroe County in Florida), a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County in California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica in California). Geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, and California. Because the Commodity code itself does not match the substance of the posted opportunities, this category shows little relevant recent procurement activity for surgical services procurement — the mismatch suggests vendors pursuing state and local healthcare contracts should verify UNSPSC coding in live solicitations rather than rely on this code as a signal for clinical procedure contracting.
