UNSPSC 85551490: Removal of drainage device from left eye, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from left eye, 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 08P130Z

UNSPSC 85551490 Removal of drainage device from left eye, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect that clinical definition. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being procured suggests either a data-entry or classification error in the state and local procurement systems submitting these records. The code shows no relevant recent activity for ophthalmic drainage device removal or similar ophthalmologic procedures.

The few opportunities that have appeared under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP with proposals due October 16, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP with proposals due October 9, 2026. Given the fundamental misalignment between the code's defined procedure and the actual solicitations, firms pursuing state and local opportunities for ophthalmic surgical services or related device work should not rely on this code for targeted prospect identification.
