This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left vitreous with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85552424, Replacement of left vitreous with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under it span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vitreous replacement or relate to the code's surgical scope. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied across these opportunities or that the taxonomy assignment does not reflect the actual goods or services being solicited.

Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county commissioners and health authorities (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and regional public health systems. Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, total maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits under the Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, targeting go-live April 1, 2027), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, two-year base term with option to extend up to five additional one-year periods). The code shows no concrete signal for pursuit in the ophthalmic or surgical implant space.
