UNSPSC 85612947: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from pancreatic duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0FPD0KZ

UNSPSC 85612947 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from pancreatic duct, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities reflected in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a surgical procedural code within clinical medicine, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve pancreatic duct surgery or tissue removal. This mismatch indicates the code has been misapplied to these solicitations or is being used as a catch-all medical services category by state and local procurement offices, creating minimal substantive alignment between the code's clinical descriptor and the work actually being bought.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with opportunities ranging from occupational health programs and public safety pension medical evaluations to employee health plan administration. The issuing bodies include city governments, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation services. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the apparent coding mismatch, vendors should verify procurement portal categorization before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
