UNSPSC 85613160: Extirpation of matter from pancreas, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from pancreas, percutaneous 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 0FCG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85613160 Extirpation of matter from pancreas, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out networks (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County)—are administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing solutions that bear no connection to pancreatic intervention procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific percutaneous surgical procedure on the pancreas; the actual solicitations soliciting under it involve retirement medical reviews, employee health benefits, occupational health tracking, detention facility medical access, pharmacy claims processing, and clinical temporary staffing.

This mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed or misapplied within state and local procurement systems to capture health administration and occupational medicine services broadly. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions—Arizona city retirement boards, California cities and counties, Washington State departments, Texas county probation departments, and California county health systems—with no geographic or sectoral concentration. Until procurement offices correct their tagging or the code's practical use stabilizes around a coherent service line, this code carries limited signal value for vendors pursuing state and local contract opportunities aligned with its nominal scope.
