This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 08P0XKZ

UNSPSC 85551253 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right eye, external approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve ocular tissue removal or any surgical procedure aligned with the code's nominal clinical descriptor. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification in the source data or that the code is serving as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement unrelated to its stated medical procedure scope.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and city government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The geographically dispersed recent activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry system employees due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026. Given the consistent disconnection between the code name and solicitation scope across multiple jurisdictions and regions, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors seeking to bid actual ophthalmologic or tissue-removal work.
