This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right retinal vessel, 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 085G3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552466 Destruction of right retinal vessel, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows significant mismatch between its abstract medical-procedure nomenclature and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve ophthalmologic vascular intervention; instead, they reflect broad health services, benefits administration, and occupational health procurement. The code captures independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the specific retinal procedure the code nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies active under this code include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation). The actual work being bought spans medical record review and disability determination support, Centers of Excellence network management for elective procedures, occupational health examinations, emergency and specialty care in detention settings, pharmaceutical claims administration, and temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles.

Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) covering disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit management and Centers of Excellence coordination (due October 7, 2026, go-live targeted April 1, 2027); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with five one-year extension options); Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management services (due April 9, 2026, three-year term with two one-year renewals, approximately $8.7 million annual historical spend); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, five-year Qualified List). The code shows no coherent procurement signal—the nominal procedure code does not reflect the scope of work state and local agencies are actually buying.
