UNSPSC 85613017: Extirpation of matter from pancreas, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from pancreas, 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 0FCG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85613017 Extirpation of matter from pancreas, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it do not involve pancreatic surgery or any related surgical work. Instead, the posted solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public-safety pension determinations, health plan surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary clinical staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve pancreatic intervention. The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC 85613017's intended use and current practice. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes.

The opportunities present across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington involve government entities ranging from city retirement offices and county health systems to state transportation and juvenile probation departments, but none are soliciting pancreatic surgery services. The most recent opportunities—Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational health surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County's temporary clinical staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026)—all fall outside the code's stated clinical domain. Absent evidence of active state or local procurement for pancreatic extirpation procedures, this code presents no current pursuit opportunity.
