UNSPSC 85612377: Bypass right hepatic duct to cystic duct with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right hepatic duct to cystic duct 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 0F150D8

UNSPSC 85612377 Bypass right hepatic duct to cystic duct with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal medical device or procedure scope. The opportunities posted under this code are soliciting services including independent medical evaluations for pension disability 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 — none of which involve the hepatic or biliary duct procedures the code purports to describe. The issuing bodies include pension boards, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation and health systems, and county health care consortiums across multiple states, suggesting the code may be used inconsistently or incorrectly for administrative health services procurement rather than surgical procedures or devices.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (state Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and responses due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals with cost-based scoring and an anticipated award date of November 30, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a multi-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (Audiology, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical/OR, and Therapy Services) with responses due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure description and the administrative and clinical staffing work actually being solicited suggests this code is either misapplied systematically in state and local procurement databases or serves as a catchall for medical services that do not fit narrower taxonomy categories.
