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 0F5D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85613036 Destruction of pancreatic duct, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical scope—a specific surgical procedure on the pancreatic duct performed via open surgical approach—does not align with the work actually being solicited under this code identifier in the state and local market.

The recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for government employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations directly involve pancreatic duct destruction or related surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical name and the actual scope of the posted opportunities suggests that state and local procurement offices are either applying the code incorrectly or the code is being used as a placeholder for a broader category of medical services that does not map cleanly to a specific surgical intervention. Business development professionals should verify the actual scope of need with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code, as the recent posting pattern does not support activity in the procedure itself.
