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 089J3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552117 Drainage of right lens, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical procedure scope and actual procurement activity. The recent opportunities flagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve ophthalmic surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and city governments (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), indicating broad jurisdictional use of the code, though the mismatch suggests possible classification error rather than genuine procurement demand for lens drainage procedures.

The geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas across recent postings (August–September 2026), but the actual work being solicited — occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, PBM administration, and temporary clinical staffing — bears no substantive relationship to the code's stated commodity definition. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance at ferry system locations and the City of Phoenix's RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent disability medical evaluations represent the most concrete recent opportunities, but both are administrative health services, not surgical procedures. This code appears to be incorrectly applied to general healthcare contracting activity rather than ophthalmologic procedures; pursuit under this code warrants clarification with issuing bodies about the intended commodity alignment before bid preparation.
