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 089L00Z

UNSPSC 85553242 Drainage of right extraocular muscle with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for ophthalmic drainage, yet the recent solicitations tagged to it cover occupational medical surveillance, pension board disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency youth detention medical services, and health plan administration—none of which involve extraocular muscle drainage or ophthalmic surgery devices. This mismatch indicates either a classification error in source data or a fundamental disconnect between the code taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices tag medical and health-related services in practice.

The recent opportunities reflect activity across diverse issuing bodies including state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and pension boards (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 five-year contract value, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code itself offers little practical guidance for business development targeting actual state and local medical procurement; vendors should rely on the specific health service categories revealed in recent notices rather than on this code's nominal descriptor.
