UNSPSC 85552413: Resection of left vitreous, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left vitreous, percutaneous 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 08T53ZZ

UNSPSC 85552413 Resection of left vitreous, percutaneous approach shows a mismatch between the Commodity code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are purchasing under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve vitreous resection or any procedure-specific ophthalmologic surgery. Instead, they span medical evaluation services, health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, county boards of commissioners, and regional health systems. This classification pattern suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a taxonomy misalignment where medical administrative and staffing services have been incorrectly tagged with a surgical procedure code.

The geographic distribution of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 response date and $750,000 five-year maximum contract value), California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit and Centers of Excellence management, due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance with 14 ferry locations, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 lives, due April 9, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical procedure scope and appears to reflect administrative miscoding rather than genuine procurement demand for the stated commodity.
