UNSPSC 85552457: Drainage of left retina, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 089F3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552457 Drainage of left retina, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title reflects a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The recent solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for detained youth, and specialty surgery networks. None of these activities represent drainage procedures or ophthalmologic surgery. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and municipal benefits programs—a broad mix of administrative and healthcare entities. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to solicitations outside its intended commodity scope.

Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited, this code appears to carry minimal procurement relevance for vendors seeking state and local opportunities in ophthalmic or surgical services.
