UNSPSC 85613234: Replacement of pancreatic duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pancreatic duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0FRD4KZ

UNSPSC 85613234 Replacement of pancreatic duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, Commodity, shows a fundamental mismatch between code definition and recent state and local purchasing activity. The UNSPSC code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving implantable medical devices, yet state and local governments do not procure this procedure directly as a commodity or service line. Recent solicitations tagged under this code instead reflect health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services contracting, and temporary staffing — work domains unrelated to pancreatic duct replacement.

No representative recent opportunities exist for the work the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices do not issue RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs for individual surgical procedures under this code. The six opportunities in the source—spanning the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out administration), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing)—are administrative health services, not surgical interventions. The code-tagging appears to reflect procurement system data entry or taxonomy-mapping errors rather than genuine alignment between the commodity definition and buyer intent. Business development firms pursuing state and local contracts should treat this code as inactive for its stated purpose and verify the correct UNSPSC classification with individual issuing bodies before investing in opportunity qualification.
