UNSPSC 85612400: Liver hepatic duct-hepatobiliary duct, open approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 24 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the liver and hepatic duct and hepatobiliary duct with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0F.

UNSPSC 85612400 Liver hepatic duct-hepatobiliary duct, open approach-part B is a Class code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with hepatobiliary surgical procedures or the medical device and supply categories that would ordinarily fall under this anatomical code. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing jurisdictions or that the code has been repurposed in state and local taxonomy in ways that diverge sharply from its UNSPSC definition.

No state and local procurement opportunities targeting hepatobiliary surgical services, related implants, or anatomical procedure-specific supplies appear in the recent activity block. State and local buyers using this code appear to be purchasing healthcare administration, workforce management, and employee benefit services rather than surgical or medical-device categories. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify coding alignment with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit, as the current posting pattern suggests either data-entry errors or a fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and its actual application in state and local procurement systems.
