UNSPSC 85552464: Drainage of right vitreous with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 089430Z

UNSPSC 85552464 Drainage of right vitreous with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the ophthalmologic surgical procedure the code nominates. State and local buyers do not appear to be soliciting drainage-device implantation services or related surgical supplies under this code. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual scope of the tagged opportunities suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a disconnect between UNSPSC classification practice and current procurement activity in this domain.

The opportunities that do appear reflect health plan administration, occupational health program support, and staffing services rather than medical devices or surgical procedures. The Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System are the issuing bodies. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Without evidence of state and local procurement actually buying vitreous drainage devices or related ophthalmologic equipment under this code, the category warrants only watch status pending clearer, more targeted solicitations.
