UNSPSC 85551006: Replacement of right conjunctiva with autologous tissue substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right conjunctiva with autologous 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 08RSX7Z

UNSPSC 85551006 Replacement of right conjunctiva with autologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity indexed under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve conjunctival replacement or ocular tissue grafting. The code classification appears to reflect a data-indexing mismatch rather than actual procurement activity, and practitioners should not rely on this code to identify ophthalmic surgical services or related contracting opportunities within state and local government.

The issuing bodies across these misaligned records include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipal employee benefits program (Long Beach), a state department of transportation (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county human resources and health consortium (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara, California). Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Texas, and Washington, with no concentrated regional activity. Representative recent 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 across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). This code should be considered dormant or misclassified for procurement purposes.
