UNSPSC 85611716: Removal of drainage device from gallbladder, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from gallbladder, percutaneous 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 0FP430Z

UNSPSC 85611716 Removal of drainage device from gallbladder, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The source shows no solicitations for percutaneous gallbladder drainage procedures or related clinical services. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support programs for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve the specific surgical or interventional procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement activity suggests either a classification error in the issuing jurisdictions' tagging systems or a divergence between the code's intended scope and its use in practice. State and local procurement offices occasionally misapply UNSPSC codes when converting legacy contract records or when the available code taxonomy does not precisely fit the service being procured. No recent state and local opportunities authentically soliciting gallbladder drainage device removal or comparable percutaneous interventional procedures appear in the source. Vendors evaluating this code should verify the accuracy of any lead before pursuing opportunities tagged to it, as the current activity does not reflect the code's stated commodity definition.
