UNSPSC 85612560: Removal of radioactive element from hepatobiliary duct, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element from hepatobiliary duct, percutaneous 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 0FPB31Z

UNSPSC 85612560 Removal of radioactive element from hepatobiliary duct, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a highly specialized radiological procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code reflect diverse healthcare administrative and staffing services unrelated to percutaneous radioactive element removal. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach sought a surgical carve-out benefit program for Centers of Excellence networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The code designation appears to be a mismatch with the actual scope of work being purchased, suggesting either classification error or administrative tagging that does not reflect the goods or services under procurement.

The recent opportunities span multiple states—Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida—and involve state departments, county governments, and municipal procurement offices rather than typical clinical procedure contracting. No repeat buyers appear across the posted solicitations, and no opportunities under this code reflect the specialized radiological or interventional procedure work the code nominally describes. Given the disconnect between the code's ostensible scope and the administrative healthcare services appearing in recent postings, this code does not present a reliable basis for business development targeting in the procurement category it nominally represents.
