UNSPSC 85552445: Extirpation of matter from left retina, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left retina, 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 08CF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552445 Extirpation of matter from left retina, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a clinical ophthalmic procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. Recent solicitations under this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out management for municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational health surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical care for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary clinical staffing for health system ancillary roles (County of Santa Clara). None of these represent retinal surgery or related ophthalmic clinical services.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that the code is being applied broadly to general medical services procurement without regard to specificity. Bidders should verify coding accuracy with the issuing body before preparing responses, as the scope of work being solicited—administrative and staffing services for health benefit and occupational medicine programs—falls outside the clinical procedure the code nominally describes.
