UNSPSC 85612452: Extirpation of matter from left lobe liver, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left lobe liver, 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 0FC20ZZ

UNSPSC 85612452 Extirpation of matter from left lobe liver, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the work actually being solicited under it in the available recent opportunities.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these services constitute extirpation of matter from the liver or relate directly to that procedure. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or an inconsistency between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices apply it in practice. State and local governments do procure medical and health services widely—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is procuring occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. However, these are administrative and staffing services, not surgical procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing surgical services or medical device contracts under this specific UNSPSC designation.
