UNSPSC 85612118: Removal of synthetic substitute from hepatobiliary duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from hepatobiliary 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 0FPB8JZ

UNSPSC 85612118 Removal of synthetic substitute from hepatobiliary duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code whose nominal clinical descriptor bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity actually occurring under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing placement, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention, and related administrative healthcare functions — none of which concern hepatobiliary intervention. The code shows material misalignment between its clinical procedure classification and real-world state and local purchasing patterns, rendering the nominal scope unhelpful for business development targeting.

Recent solicitations appear across multiple states and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach pursuing a surgical benefit carve-out program through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County seeking pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's current tagging appears to reflect administrative processing errors rather than deliberate categorization, and vendors should verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this number.
