UNSPSC 85612013: Repair left hepatic duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left hepatic duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0FQ68ZZ

UNSPSC 85612013 Repair left hepatic duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with hepatic duct repair or any related surgical interventions. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve hepatic duct repair or endoscopic procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied to general medical services procurement; the opportunities reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this tag, which is administrative medical services, occupational health programs, employee benefit design, and clinical staffing support rather than surgical repair procedures.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), large municipal governments (City of Long Beach), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (County of Santa Clara, Collier County), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and regional health authorities. Recent activity concentrates in Washington, California, Arizona, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management serving approximately 3,800 PPO-enrolled employees and retirees (responses due October 7, 2026, two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (responses due October 7, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's stated procedure and the medical services actually being procured, this code does not currently represent a reliable vehicle for pursuing opportunities in surgical procedure supply or delivery.
