This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left vitreous with drainage device, 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 089530Z

UNSPSC 85552462 Drainage of left vitreous with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this designation. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out networks for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vitreous drainage or ophthalmologic procedures at all. This represents a fundamental mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being procured.

The opportunities reflect fragmented, low-volume activity across diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), and municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), with individual solicitations ranging from staffing vendor pools to five-year pharmacy administration contracts valued near $8.7 million annually. No recent procurement activity under this code is genuinely relevant to ophthalmic device provision or drainage procedures. State and local buyers using this code appear to be miscategorizing health services unrelated to the procedure the code describes; parties evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for its intended purpose and verify category accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing.
