UNSPSC 85612818: Removal of infusion device from pancreatic duct, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from pancreatic duct, external 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 0FPDX3Z

UNSPSC 85612818 Removal of infusion device from pancreatic duct, external approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — extraction of an infusion catheter from the pancreatic duct — yet the recent solicitations tagged with this code request occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefits carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these activities involve pancreatic duct procedures or match the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical taxonomy and how purchasing offices have applied it.

The geographic and issuing-body spread across the available opportunities reflects routine state and local health and benefits administration: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Without recent solicitations that actually address pancreatic duct device removal or related endocrine interventions, this code shows no actionable procurement activity for vendors specializing in that clinical domain. Firms pursuing state and local health services contracts should verify code assignments independently rather than rely on this taxonomy mapping.
