UNSPSC 85612127: Removal of synthetic substitute from hepatobiliary duct, via natural or artificial opening

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. 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 0FPB7JZ

UNSPSC 85612127, Removal of synthetic substitute from hepatobiliary duct, via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code that does not match the work being solicited in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — extraction of a bile duct stent — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect demand for occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve hepatobiliary duct procedures or related surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or a fundamental divergence between the code's clinical scope and how state and local procurement offices are applying it.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix city retirement boards), Washington (state ferries occupational health), California (Long Beach municipal employee benefits, Santa Clara County health system), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefits), and Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services). Issuing bodies include city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county health systems, county human resources divisions, and county juvenile justice departments. Given the clear disconnect between the code's intended scope and the actual services being procured — none involving the specific hepatobiliary procedure the code describes — this code shows no relevant recent activity for firms pursuing work in its stated clinical area.
