UNSPSC 85551001: Replacement of left conjunctiva with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left conjunctiva with nonautologous tissue substitute, external 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 08RTXKZ

UNSPSC 85551001 Replacement of left conjunctiva with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect conjunctival replacement procedures; instead, they capture disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging misalignment or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catchall for healthcare services and benefits administration rather than for ophthalmologic surgical procedures. The issuing bodies span county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city pension boards (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). None of these solicitations target the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police pension boards), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County), and Washington State (WSDOT ferries). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum (proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026 with cost accounting for 40 percent of scoring), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ HHS FY270052 establishing a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). No procurement volume, contract values, or repeating buyer patterns emerge from the source material that would suggest this code is actively used for its stated clinical purpose.
