UNSPSC 85612320: Replacement of right 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 right 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 0FR50KZ

UNSPSC 85612320 Replacement of right hepatic duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — replacement of the right hepatic duct with synthetic material using open surgical technique — but the six recent opportunities tagged under this code in the source material are unrelated to hepatic surgery and instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for non-hepatic procedures, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve hepatic duct replacement or the surgical interventions the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the actual procurement activity in the source suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or a data integrity issue in how state and local procurement offices tag medical and health-related services. For business development purposes, this code should be considered dormant for state and local procurement activity at this time. Firms seeking state and local health-care opportunities should monitor broader medical services codes and health-system staffing vehicles rather than rely on this hepatic-surgery-specific Commodity code.
