UNSPSC 85552423: Replacement of left vitreous with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left vitreous 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 08R53KZ

UNSPSC 85552423 Replacement of left vitreous with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The source does not support any recent state or local opportunities directly soliciting vitreous replacement procedures or ophthalmologic surgical implants. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferries workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific ophthalmic procedure the code nominates. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state or local procurement system or use of this code as a catchall for broader healthcare service categories that do not fit neatly into narrower taxonomies.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee-benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation and healthcare systems (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health authorities. Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code presents limited opportunity for firms focused on vitreous replacement implants or ophthalmic surgical devices.
