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 00DG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85473825 Extraction of optic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to show minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve optic nerve extraction or specialized surgical procedures. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical intervention) does not match the breadth of general healthcare administration, behavioral health services, and employee health plan management currently being solicited by state and local issuers. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code to tag healthcare-related opportunities broadly, rather than to identify specialized surgical services. This mismatch signals that the code carries little decision-relevant activity for vendors focused on the surgical procedure the code name describes.

No recent opportunities in the source reflect actual procurement of optic nerve extraction services or related specialized ophthalmologic surgical work. The four opportunities posted between February and April 2026 are anchored instead in Muscogee County Prison's comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy contract (RFP due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (RFP closed April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services (RFP due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica's fire department medical director position (RFP closed October 16, 2025). Geographic activity appears limited to Florida, Georgia, and California, with no clustering that would indicate sustained demand under this code's stated scope. Vendors pursuing specialized surgical or ophthalmologic services should verify coding assignments with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit, as the current tagging under UNSPSC 85473825 does not reflect genuine procurement of the service the code names.
