UNSPSC 85474021 Extirpation of matter from optic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose title does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code show no solicitations for ophthalmic surgical procedures; instead, the code appears to capture a diverse range of health services procurement, including occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. State and local issuing bodies using this code include county human resources departments (Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County), regional transit authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix). The scope of work reflects administrative and operational health services rather than surgical procedures—the code's abstract designation does not align with what is actually being procured.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, covering 75 annual applications at a $750,000 five-year contract maximum; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations with a two-year term and optional five additional one-year extensions (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026, with anticipated contract execution April 1, 2027); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members at approximately $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026, though this date appears inconsistent with the 2026 posting timeline); Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026). The code shows a mismatch between its title and actual state and local procurement activity.
