UNSPSC 85612939: Replacement of pancreatic duct with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pancreatic duct with autologous 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 0FRD07Z

UNSPSC 85612939 Replacement of pancreatic duct with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health plan surgical benefit carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve pancreatic duct replacement or the procedural surgical services the code name describes. The sourced opportunities represent general health services administration and workforce health management, not the specialized surgical intervention the code's title indicates. State and local buyers using this code classification appear to be tagging general health and medical administration services broadly rather than the narrowly defined surgical procedure the taxonomy nominally covers.

Activity is geographically dispersed across multiple states and county jurisdictions. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record review), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit program management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing) represent state departments, county governments, and municipal agencies. Recent opportunities include WSDOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington locations with a due date of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RFP for disability medical evaluation services (approximately 75 annual disability applications, $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out networks serving approximately 3,800 enrolled members with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code does not appear to drive meaningful procurement activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope.
