UNSPSC 85551238: Replacement of right sclera with autologous tissue substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right sclera 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 08R6X7Z

UNSPSC 85551238 Replacement of right sclera with autologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code nominally designating a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not procure ophthalmologic services or tissue-substitute procedures. Instead, the six opportunities on record between July and September 2026 track disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, emergency and inpatient medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary clinical staffing placement, and surgical specialty networks. None involves scleral replacement or tissue grafting. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The issuing bodies span a diverse geographic base: Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). The opportunities represent municipal retirement systems, municipal health plans, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice departments. A pre-bid conference for Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance is scheduled for August 31, 2026; the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Board's medical evaluation RFP closes October 16, 2026; Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP closes October 7, 2026; and Santa Clara County's temporary clinical staffing qualification solicitation closes October 7, 2026. The Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP has already passed its April 9, 2026 deadline. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical focus and the opportunities actually posted, this code does not reliably signal demand for the specialized ophthalmic service it names.
