UNSPSC 85612937: Replacement of pancreatic duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pancreatic duct with nonautologous tissue 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 0FRD0KZ

UNSPSC 85612937 Replacement of pancreatic duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code — including independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are all administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing functions unrelated to pancreatic ductal surgery or tissue grafting. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the state and local opportunities posted under it reflect general health plan administration, employee benefits procurement, and clinical staffing placement across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

This mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure nomenclature and the actual healthcare-administration work being solicited suggests either a data classification error in the source or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions are tagging their health services procurements. Neither the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for medical record review and independent examinations due October 16, 2026, the City of Long Beach's proposal request for Centers of Excellence surgical networks due October 7, 2026, nor the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational surveillance solicitation due October 9, 2026 involve surgical implants or tissue replacement. No state or local government appears to be purchasing pancreatic ductal procedures as a procurement commodity. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local opportunity pursuit until the classification issue is resolved.
