UNSPSC 85551709: Drainage of right choroid, open 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 089A0ZZ

UNSPSC 85551709 Drainage of right choroid, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal relevance to actual government purchasing activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — specifically the open drainage of fluid from the choroid (the vascular layer of the eye) — but recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code involve healthcare administration, benefits management, peer support services, and medical direction for fire departments, none of which align with ophthalmologic surgery or drainage procedures.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being procured suggests either miscoding in the procurement system or an artifact of how state and local jurisdictions classify healthcare service contracts. The recent opportunities posted under this code span Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California), covering inmate medical and pharmacy services (RFP, due May 15, 2026), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (RFP, due April 9, 2026), virtual primary and urgent care for county members (RFP, due April 16, 2026), mental health peer support services (RFP, due July 2, 2025), and fire department medical director services (RFP, due October 16, 2025). None of these solicitations request drainage procedures, ophthalmologic equipment, or surgical supplies. Given this substantive disconnect, the code shows little actionable recent activity for vendors pursuing traditional state and local procurement opportunities in healthcare services, medical supplies, or related categories.
