This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from hepatobiliary duct, 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 0FPB0JZ

UNSPSC 85612423 "Removal of synthetic substitute from hepatobiliary duct, open approach" is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code do not involve hepatobiliary surgery or related medical procedures; instead, they encompass a broad mix of health plan administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, medical staffing, and ancillary clinical services unrelated to the code's stated scope.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies without geographic or sectoral concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026. The City of Long Beach (California) solicited proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington State locations, due October 9, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) sought pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 dependents, with a deadline of April 9, 2026 and historical annual spending around $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System (California) established a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and operating room services, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's procedural description and the actual work being bought suggests this code is either misapplied in the source data or sees limited relevant procurement volume in state and local markets.
