UNSPSC 85551560 Removal of drainage device from right eye, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with no recent state and local contract opportunities directly aligned to ophthalmic surgical procedures. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical care networks, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve removal of ocular drainage devices or related ophthalmologic surgery. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it in the current market.

The geographic and issuing-body distribution across the six opportunities reflects broad state and local procurement activity: the City of Phoenix (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and County of Santa Clara (California). However, because none of these solicitations address ophthalmologic surgery or drainage-device removal, this code does not currently represent viable business development focus. Bidders pursuing state and local medical and health services contracts should verify the actual work scope independently rather than rely on UNSPSC code alignment in this category.
