This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cystic duct to common bile duct with intraluminal device, 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 0F180D9

UNSPSC 85611657 Bypass cystic duct to common bile duct with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving biliary tract intervention; however, the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations concern surgical implants, devices, or the procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or a systematic miscoding of medical services contracts. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with activity concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. If the code is intended to capture procedural or clinical service work rather than devices, the recent opportunities do not support that interpretation. Firms pursuing this code should verify the actual commodity classification against their service offerings before preparing a response.
