This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left retinal vessel with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85552403 Supplement left retinal vessel with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under or near this code involve independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve retinal vessel procedures or autologous tissue substitution. The code appears to reflect a highly specific ophthalmic surgical procedure that does not match the scope of services state and local governments are actually soliciting.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows little or no relevant recent opportunity. Jurisdictions posting opportunities tagged to or near this code—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—are buying administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing support rather than specialized surgical procedures or tissue-based medical interventions.
