UNSPSC 85611871: Bypass gallbladder to duodenum, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass gallbladder to duodenum, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0F144Z3

UNSPSC 85611871 Bypass gallbladder to duodenum, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure for biliary diversion, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no procurement aligned with surgical or medical device delivery. The five recent solicitations recorded under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, county employee pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care and urgent care services, mental health peer support services, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve percutaneous endoscopic bypass procedures, surgical supplies, or related clinical interventions. The issuing bodies include county corrections departments (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and health benefit programs (Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity indicates either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a systematic misclassification of health services procurement under a procedure code rather than under appropriate service-delivery or benefits-management codes.

No state and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 85611871 reflects the code's defined scope of surgical procedures. The recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and California but center on administrative health services, benefits management, and workforce support rather than medical devices, surgical supplies, or procedural interventions. Without recent solicitations actually seeking bypass gallbladder procedures, endoscopic surgical equipment, or related consumables, the code presents no actionable procurement activity for vendors supplying surgical products or services aligned with the code's stated commodity definition. Prospective vendors should verify correct UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before responding to health services solicitations, as the current tagging suggests systematic coding misalignment in state and local procurement systems.
