UNSPSC 85612012: Resection of right hepatic duct, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right hepatic 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 0FT57ZZ

UNSPSC 85612012 Resection of right hepatic duct, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving hepatic duct resection—does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent solicitations posted under 85612012 instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities span medical administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing—none involving surgical procedures on the biliary system.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county government purchasing offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and city benefits administration (City of Long Beach). Geographic representation includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure definition and the actual scope of posted opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding of medical and administrative services under a clinical-procedure commodity code or limited relevance of this code to state and local procurement. Pursuit of opportunities under this code requires careful verification that the work being solicited aligns with your service or product offering.
