UNSPSC 85551013 Extirpation of matter from left iris, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—an ophthalmological surgical procedure—does not align with the recent solicitations tagged under it in the state and local marketplace. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code span prison medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction; none involve iris surgery or ophthalmic procedures. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the procurement posting system or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder that does not reflect genuine commodity alignment.

No state and local government solicitations for extirpation of matter from the iris or related ophthalmic surgical services appear in the recent opportunity record. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify coding accuracy with issuing agencies before allocating business development resources. The code does not support a meaningful pipeline for ophthalmic surgical contracting based on current state and local posting activity.
