UNSPSC 85552470: Destruction of right vitreous, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right vitreous, 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 08543ZZ

UNSPSC 85552470 Destruction of right vitreous, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vitreous destruction or ophthalmologic surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or a divergence between UNSPSC taxonomy and current state and local buying practice in this category.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with the most recent opportunities due between September and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (a $750,000 five-year contract for disability medical record summary and examination scheduling), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (two years with optional five-year extensions across 14 Washington State Ferries locations), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQUHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 (a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed volume). The code shows active volume but poor alignment with its stated medical procedure classification.
