UNSPSC 85613500: Pancreas pancreatic duct, natural or artificial opening-part B

This class includes one or more of 24 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the pancreas and pancreatic duct with natural or artificial opening. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0F.

UNSPSC 85613500 Pancreas pancreatic duct, natural or artificial opening—part B is a Class code whose recent state and local posting shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal medical-device scope and actual procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for public employees, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve pancreatic or pancreatic-duct devices or procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or use of a catch-all taxonomy bucket within particular procurement systems. The issuing bodies span state health and transportation departments, county human resources and juvenile justice divisions, and municipal retirement offices across multiple states and regions.

The recent opportunities show activity from Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record review and examination coordination), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No posted opportunity actually involves procurement of pancreatic devices, grafts, stents, or related medical hardware or consumables typical of the UNSPSC 85613500 classification. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors offering products or services within the nominal scope.
