UNSPSC 85552449: Excision of left retina, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 08BF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552449 Excision of left retina, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the five most recent opportunities posted under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — span administrative healthcare management, vendor-provided clinical services, and medical policy roles rather than retinal surgery or any comparable procedural service. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either tagging error or an administrative classification that does not align with procurement practice in this category. State and local governments posting these opportunities are county boards of commissioners, county health departments, and municipal fire departments seeking ongoing healthcare program management and clinical staffing, not discrete surgical interventions.

Geographic activity supporting these opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with no single jurisdiction appearing as a repeat buyer under this code. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026) and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered dependents (posted April 9, 2026, with historical spending around $8.7 million annually). Monroe County issued an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code does not appear to represent a discrete procurement category with sustained state and local market activity; buyers pursuing healthcare services typically use broader codes aligned with administrative management, staffing, or facility-based service delivery rather than this narrow procedural designation.
