UNSPSC 85612300: Liver hepatic duct-hepatobiliary duct, open approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 24 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the liver and hepatic duct and hepatobiliary duct with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0F.

UNSPSC 85612300 Liver hepatic duct–hepatobiliary duct, open approach–part A is a Class code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a medical procedure taxonomy entry, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve hepatobiliary surgical procedures or their procurement. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with the code's stated scope. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a systemic misapplication of the code by issuing bodies.

The few opportunities visible in the record span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). No single issuing body appears more than once, and the geographic and functional dispersion does not support a coherent procurement signal under this code. Prospective vendors should verify the actual UNSPSC classification of target opportunities before pursuing work advertised under 85612300, as the code appears unreliable for identifying state and local government demand in any discrete service or supply category.
