UNSPSC 85612034: Extirpation of matter from left hepatic duct, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left 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 0FC67ZZ

UNSPSC 85612034, Extirpation of matter from left hepatic duct via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure used in medical taxonomy and hospital billing systems; state and local government contracting activity under this code is not present in current solicitations.

The recent opportunities posted under this code designation do not align with its clinical scope. Three of the five opportunities solicited are for administrative health services (pension disability medical evaluations in Phoenix, surgical carve-out benefits administration in Long Beach, occupational medical surveillance in Washington State, and pharmacy benefit management in Collier County), one is exploratory market research (Harris County youth detention healthcare), and one is temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County). None involves hepatic duct procedures or related surgical intervention. The code appears to have been applied to these opportunities in error or as a default taxonomy assignment by procurement systems not calibrated to distinguish between clinical procedure codes and procurable service categories. State and local buyers do not directly contract for specific surgical procedures; they contract with health systems, insurers, benefit administrators, and staffing vendors who manage or provide care delivery. This code warrants monitoring only if future opportunities surface that genuinely involve procurement related to hepatic interventions—such as medical device supply, surgical equipment rental, or specialized facility services—rather than the administrative health service opportunities now tagged under it.
