UNSPSC 85612120: Removal of extraluminal device 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 extraluminal device 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 0FPB8CZ

UNSPSC 85612120 Removal of extraluminal device from hepatobiliary duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — endoscopic removal of a device from a bile duct — yet the source contains no solicitations for that clinical service or procedure. Instead, state and local governments posting under this code are procuring occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves hepatobiliary duct procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error by posting agencies or a data artifact. Issuing bodies in the source span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and public retirement systems, yet none are soliciting the clinical service the code nominally describes.

Given the absence of relevant recent activity under the code's stated scope, state and local procurement under UNSPSC 85612120 does not present a meaningful opportunity for vendors specializing in hepatobiliary endoscopic procedures or related clinical services.
