UNSPSC 85613539: Drainage of pancreatic duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of pancreatic duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0F9D8ZZ

UNSPSC 85613539 Drainage of pancreatic duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve pancreatic duct drainage procedures or any related gastroenterological interventions. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, county health consortia, and county health systems. This represents a mismatch between the UNSPSC code designation and the purchasing activity, indicating that the code may have been applied in error or is being used as a catch-all category by procurement offices unfamiliar with proper medical-service taxonomy.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and an October 16, 2026 proposal deadline; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit Centers of Excellence carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 proposal deadline and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. Because none of these opportunities involve the procedure named in the code, this code does not represent a viable pursuit vector for firms offering pancreatic duct drainage services or related endoscopic gastroenterological procedures to state and local buyers.
