UNSPSC 85552417: Replacement of left retinal vessel with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left retinal vessel with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 08RH3KZ

UNSPSC 85552417, Replacement of left retinal vessel with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for retinal vessel replacement using synthetic tissue, but state and local governments do not directly purchase or solicit this surgical service through public procurement channels. Recent opportunities posted under this code designation include medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational health surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve retinal vessel replacement procedures or align with the code's stated clinical scope. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code is not actively used in state and local procurement for its intended purpose.

The geographic spread of recent activity under this code designation spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, reflecting the locations of the issuing bodies rather than a concentrated market for the procedure itself. Issuing bodies include city retirement systems, county health authorities, regional transportation agencies, and county health systems—a diverse mix typical of general health services procurement. The lack of opportunities actually soliciting retinal vessel replacement services or related ophthalmic surgical supplies indicates this code warrants no active pursuit at this time.
