This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left choroid, 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 08CB3ZZ

UNSPSC 85551803 Extirpation of matter from left choroid, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this identifier in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal clinical scope—a specific ophthalmologic surgical procedure—bears no meaningful relationship to the opportunities posted against it.

The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare. These solicitations originate from diverse issuing bodies including state departments of transportation, county health systems, county human resources divisions, county juvenile probation departments, and city retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted a medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a temporary health professional staffing RFQ due October 7, 2026. This code shows a clear misalignment between its clinical descriptor and actual procurement activity, suggesting either a data entry error in the tagging system or use of the code as a catchall for health services that do not fit elsewhere in the UNSPSC taxonomy. The opportunities themselves are genuine and active, but they do not constitute a coherent procurement category under this code's stated definition.
