UNSPSC 85473817: Excision of optic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of optic nerve, open 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 00BG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85473817 Excision of optic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification span pharmacy benefit management, inmate medical services, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve optic nerve surgery or surgical services generally. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems have tagged unrelated healthcare contracting activity under this code, likely due to miscategorization rather than genuine demand for optic nerve excision services.

The geographic spread includes Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with healthcare administration and management services dominating. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members with contract effective October 1, 2026 (due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director to oversee EMS operations handling 18,000 annual calls (due October 16, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent activity and does not reflect active state or local procurement for the surgical service the code nominally describes.
