This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right retina, external 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 08CEXZZ

UNSPSC 85552206, Extirpation of matter from right retina, external approach, is a Commodity code that does not map meaningfully to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect broad medical evaluation, staffing, and benefits management services that bear no substantive relation to retinal surgery or ophthalmology procurement.

The source shows no recent state and local solicitations aligned with the code's stated scope. The opportunities tagged to this code include disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involves retinal surgery, ophthalmic care, or procedural matter extraction. The code appears to be a data-classification error in the state and local procurement systems, and this category does not represent a genuine market opportunity for ophthalmologic surgical services or retinal procedure specialists under state and local procurement.
