UNSPSC 85551918 Drainage of left eye with drainage device, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code reflect no procurement of ophthalmic surgical services or devices. Instead, the code appears to be receiving misclassified registrations from health systems and government entities sourcing unrelated medical services: independent medical evaluation administration for disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, juvenile detention emergency and specialty care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing across ancillary specialties. The activities being purchased are primarily third-party healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical workforce augmentation rather than ophthalmic drainage procedures or related medical devices.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources and health agencies (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county corrections authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county procurement offices managing employee benefits consortia (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000 (responses due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with a two-year base term and options to extend for up to five additional one-year terms (responses due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical services (responses due October 7, 2026). The code shows no substantive recent activity aligned with its stated ophthalmic surgical scope.
