UNSPSC 85551809: Drainage of right choroid, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 089A3ZZ

UNSPSC 85551809 Drainage of right choroid, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that has minimal relevance to state and local government procurement. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmological surgical procedure — percutaneous drainage of the right choroid — but recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect actual procurement of that service. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which aligns with the choroid drainage procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or data-quality issues in the procurement taxonomy mapping.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated activity under this code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited disability medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical carve-out benefit program (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little actionable signal for vendors specializing in the service the taxonomy name describes.
