UNSPSC 85612318: Replacement of left hepatic duct with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hepatic duct with synthetic 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 0FR60JZ

UNSPSC 85612318 Replacement of left hepatic duct with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no relationship to its nominal scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve hepatic duct replacement or surgical implants. This code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in medical device, surgical instrumentation, or implant supply.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding on the part of issuing bodies or a systematic cataloging error in the UNSPSC assignment for these opportunities. No state or local jurisdiction is using this Commodity code to solicit hepatic duct replacement services, synthetic implants, or related surgical supplies. Business development professionals should verify the correct code hierarchy with procurement offices before pursuing opportunities under this designation, as the current activity stream does not align with the code's medical-surgical scope.
