UNSPSC 85551227: Replacement of left cornea with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left cornea 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 08R9XKZ

UNSPSC 85551227 Replacement of left cornea with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its scope. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code across state and local jurisdictions since July 2026 include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve corneal tissue replacement or ophthalmologic surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either persistent miscoding by issuing bodies or that corneal replacement procedures are not typically procured through open state and local solicitations.

The geographic spread of recent tagging under this code spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies representing municipal pension offices, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county procurement offices. No pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the recent record, and no opportunity posted under this code actually describes corneal tissue procurement, surgical supply contracting, or ophthalmologic product sourcing — the commodity class's core business activity.
