UNSPSC 85612935: Replacement of accessory pancreatic duct with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of accessory pancreatic duct with synthetic substitute, 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 0FRF0JZ

UNSPSC 85612935 Replacement of accessory pancreatic duct with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment between its nominal medical procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block returns solicitations for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve pancreatic duct replacement or surgical implant procurement. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification poorly suited to state and local vendor procurement; issuing bodies active in the recent record span city retirement offices, municipal health benefits functions, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county human resources divisions, and county health systems.

The geographic distribution includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (state-level), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum over five years and an October 16, 2026 deadline; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-outs for its Anthem PPO plan with a proposed go-live of April 1, 2027; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals with a due date of October 9, 2026 and cost-based scoring emphasizing physician board certification in occupational medicine. The code's mismatch with actual procurement suggests vendors should verify code classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under this Commodity designation.
