This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from hepatobiliary duct, external approach. 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 0FPBX3Z

UNSPSC 85612216 Removal of infusion device from hepatobiliary duct, external approach is a Commodity code whose name does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code shows minimal relevant procurement activity; the recent opportunities tagged to this code — including independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — do not involve removal of infusion devices from hepatobiliary ducts or any related procedural or device-specific medical service. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific hepatobiliary procedure) and the actual opportunities appearing under it suggests either a classification error in state and local procurement systems or a drift in how this code is being applied in practice.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span county governments, state departments, and municipal retirement systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no standout repeat buyer. Given the absence of opportunities that actually address the code's stated procedural scope, this code offers little actionable direction for a firm pursuing work in device removal, hepatobiliary procedures, or related clinical services. Practitioners targeting this code should verify with individual issuing offices that their business aligns with the actual scope of work being solicited rather than relying on the code name alone.
