UNSPSC 85612037: Excision of left hepatic duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0FB68ZZ

UNSPSC 85612037 Excision of left hepatic duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local government procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the abstract procedure name. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve hepatic duct procedures or related surgical services; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code is rarely used for its intended purpose in the state and local market.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, counties, state transportation agencies, and health systems. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, and the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026. These opportunities reflect ancillary and administrative health services rather than surgical procedures themselves, and none directly align with the code's hepatic duct procedure description, indicating that tracking activity under this specific Commodity code for procurement strategy purposes would likely yield limited and tangential results.
