This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left hepatic duct to small intestine with intraluminal device, 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 0F160DB

UNSPSC 85612359 Bypass left hepatic duct to small intestine with intraluminal device, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under this code. The source identifies six recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this UNSPSC number, but none solicits the surgical procedure named in the code. Instead, the opportunities cover independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's nominal scope — a specific hepatic bypass surgical procedure — does not align with any of the actual work being solicited.

The mismatch indicates that state and local procurement offices have tagged these medical-services and health-plan opportunities to an incorrect or overly narrow code, or that the code itself may be used in ways the UNSPSC taxonomy does not reflect. Geographic spread of the tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with Florida represented in the pharmacy benefit management RFP (Collier County). None of these solicitations describe the purchase of implantable surgical devices or surgical procedures matching the code's name. A firm pursuing surgical device, implant, or hepatic-surgery work should not rely on this code as a reliable signal for relevant state and local procurement activity.
