UNSPSC 85613553: Destruction of pancreatic duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0F5D8ZZ

UNSPSC 85613553 Destruction of pancreatic duct via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect pancreatic endoscopic procedures; instead, they span independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit management for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing placement. None of these solicitations involve endoscopic pancreatic procedures or interventional gastroenterology services. The issuing bodies represent diverse public entities—city retirement offices, municipal health plan administrators, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation, county human resources divisions, and county health systems—spanning Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida.

The code displays little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated medical procedure. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 reflect administrative healthcare contracting, benefits management, and clinical staffing—functions orthogonal to procedural gastroenterology. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a proposal deadline of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code appears to be a catch-all or data-entry error in state and local procurement systems rather than an active vehicle for pancreatic endoscopic procedures.
