UNSPSC 85613020: Excision of 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 0FBG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85613020 Excision of pancreas, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve pancreatic surgery or surgical procedures of any kind. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) and the procurement activity posted under it suggests either a systematic miscoding issue or an outdated taxonomy assignment that no longer aligns with how state and local jurisdictions are tagging healthcare services.

The issuing bodies and geographic scope reflect broad state and local healthcare procurement activity: Muscogee County (Georgia) is soliciting comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a 576-bed prison facility through an RFP due May 15, 2026; Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP on April 9, 2026 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees; Monroe County (Florida) posted an RFP on March 14, 2026 for virtual primary and urgent care services with proposals due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County (California) released an RFP in February 2026 for peer support services targeting mental health workers; and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) posted an RFP in February 2026 for a fire department medical director. The code shows recent activity across Georgia, Florida, and California, but the activities themselves — managed healthcare administration, telemedicine, behavioral health support, and medical supervision — fall outside surgical services entirely and suggest the code assignment should be reviewed for accuracy against the actual procurement requirements.
