UNSPSC 85612919: Restriction of pancreatic duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of pancreatic 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 0FVD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85612919 Restriction of pancreatic duct, open approach is a Commodity code describing a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with pancreatic surgery or any surgical procedural work. Instead, the opportunities reflect health services administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve surgical intervention on the pancreatic duct. The code appears to be a misclassification in state and local procurement systems, likely applied by jurisdictions unfamiliar with UNSPSC's medical-procedure taxonomy or as a catch-all default for health-related services. The scope of work actually being solicited includes disability medical evaluations for public safety pension systems, Centers of Excellence carve-out programs for surgical and specialty procedures, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and inpatient services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county health systems, and regional public health authorities—a mix of administrative, operational, and clinical procurement functions within state and local government.

Geographic spread covers Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no single jurisdiction dominating the code's recent activity. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code shows recent activity but little substantive relevance to its stated surgical procedure scope.
