UNSPSC 85551203: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left eye, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left eye, 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 08W1XKZ

UNSPSC 85551203 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left eye, external approach is a Commodity code that appears to carry minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure involving tissue revision, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve tissue substitutes or eye surgery. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging error by issuing bodies or misclassification in the source data.

Activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions with no geographic concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries issued RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach issued HR26753 for a surgical benefit carve-out program (proposals due October 7, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing (proposals due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued RFI 071626BNM for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (responses due September 25, 2026), and Collier County posted RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (proposals due April 9, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's ophthalmic scope and actual solicitation content, this code warrants review—either as an inactive or misapplied taxonomy entry that does not reflect genuine state and local buying patterns for eye surgery procedures.
