UNSPSC 85612317: Replacement of left hepatic duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hepatic duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 0FR60KZ

UNSPSC 85612317, Replacement of left hepatic duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving hepatic duct replacement; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve hepatic duct procedures or organ transplant work. The mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the work being solicited suggests either systematic tagging error or use of this Commodity code as a placeholder for broader health-care service categories that do not fit cleanly into the UNSPSC hierarchy.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), city human resources functions (Long Beach, Long Beach Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County), and county benefits consortia (Collier County). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance at 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, the City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out benefit programs covering approximately 3,800 enrolled members, and Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows no coherent procurement signal and is not recommended for pursuit without clarification of why these particular opportunities are tagged to a hepatic surgery Commodity code.
