UNSPSC 85551110: Extirpation of matter from right anterior chamber, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right anterior chamber, percutaneous 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 08C23ZZ

UNSPSC 85551110 Extirpation of matter from right anterior chamber, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a nominal clinical scope that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source shows no solicitations for the surgical procedure named in the code's definition. Instead, recent opportunities under this code encompass occupational health surveillance, disability and independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out administration, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve ophthalmic surgery or anterior chamber procedures. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal retirement and human resources offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure it nominally describes.

Geographic spread includes California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Washington, with the most recent activity concentrated in Washington State (occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees, due October 9, 2026), Arizona (disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, due October 16, 2026), California (Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out for Long Beach municipal employees, due October 7, 2026, and temporary health professional staffing pool for Santa Clara County Health System, due October 7, 2026), and Florida (pharmacy benefit management for Collier County, due April 9, 2026). The Washington State Ferries occupational health contract requires board-certified occupational medicine physicians across 14 ferry locations with two-year initial term and up to five one-year renewal options; the City of Phoenix seeks independent medical evaluators for approximately 75 annual disability applications under a five-year agreement capped at $750,000 commencing February 3, 2027. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding at the point of solicitation or that this code should not be pursued as a primary target for ophthalmic surgical contractors.
