UNSPSC 85612442: Insertion of intraluminal device into hepatobiliary duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into 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 0FHB0DZ

UNSPSC 85612442 Insertion of intraluminal device into hepatobiliary duct, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — placement of a device within the bile duct via open surgical approach — but the recent opportunities tagged under this code do not procure that service or anything similar to it.

The six recent solicitations listed span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), specialty medical care for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these opportunities involve hepatobiliary surgical procedures, intraluminal device insertion, or operative intervention of any kind. The code appears to have been misapplied to health care service procurements that fall outside its intended scope. State and local procurement bodies do not routinely solicit specific surgical procedures directly; they contract for medical services, benefits administration, staffing, and evaluation capacity. This code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing state and local contracts.
