UNSPSC 85553226: Removal of drainage device from left extraocular muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from left extraocular muscle, open 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 08PM00Z

UNSPSC 85553226 Removal of drainage device from left extraocular muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally refers to a specific ophthalmologic surgical procedure; however, the six recent opportunities posted across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington since July 2026 target occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing (including ophthalmology among thirteen ancillary categories), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and surgical carve-out benefits for government employees—none of which correspond to the narrow scope of the coded procedure itself.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems, with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at fourteen ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary categories including ophthalmology (due October 7, 2026). The procedural specificity of UNSPSC 85553226 does not map to the healthcare administration and staffing procurement these jurisdictions are actually conducting. Vendors pursuing state and local work in healthcare services should verify code assignment at RFP issuance rather than rely on this code's taxonomy placement.
