UNSPSC 85613241 Removal of infusion device from pancreas, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no material recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance services for Washington State ferry workers, disability medical evaluations for Phoenix public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, emergency medical services for detained youth, and specialty and emergency medical care—none of which involve pancreatic infusion device removal or endoscopic procedures. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all or default classification for healthcare services procurement rather than reflecting the specific procedural service the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices do not routinely solicit for individual clinical procedures; instead, they contract for medical services delivery, employee health benefits administration, occupational health programs, and staffing capabilities at the organizational or programmatic level.

Given the absence of relevant recent opportunities, this code warrants monitoring rather than active pursuit. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual health services being procured by state and local bodies suggests either miscategorization by issuing offices or a structural limitation in how UNSPSC aligns with state and local healthcare purchasing. Firms providing pancreatic interventional services, device removal protocols, or endoscopic procedural support would benefit from tracking opportunities at the Family or Class level (85610000 or 85613000 range) or engaging directly with health systems' clinical procurement channels rather than relying on this Commodity code's recent posting history.
