UNSPSC 85552208: Extirpation of matter from right vitreous, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right vitreous, 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 08C4XZZ

UNSPSC 85552208 Extirpation of matter from right vitreous, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains no opportunities actually soliciting vitreous surgical procedures or ophthalmologic surgical services. Instead, the recent postings cluster around occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which fall within the scope of vitreous extraction or external ophthalmic surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the opportunities tagged to it suggests either classification error in the source data or the use of this code as a catch-all for medical services procurement that does not map to the actual commodity.

The issuing bodies across the tagged opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose health systems. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Because the code's actual commodity—vitreous extraction—does not appear in any recent opportunity, this code warrants a skip decision pending clarification of the classification error.
