UNSPSC 85611922: Excision of cystic duct, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of cystic duct, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0FB87ZZ

UNSPSC 85611922 Excision of cystic duct, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical services matching that clinical description. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out networks for employee benefits programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a cataloging error in how jurisdictions have tagged these opportunities or a misalignment in how the code is being applied to broader health services contracting. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), primarily pursuing administrative health services, benefits management, and workforce staffing rather than direct surgical procedures.

The recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) offering $750,000 over five years to support approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with a two-year base term and options for five additional one-year extensions; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefits carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) targeting knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 Anthem PPO enrollees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no concentration among repeat jurisdictions and little evidence of current procurement aligned with the code's stated surgical procedure scope.
