UNSPSC 85551331: Supplement of right eye with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement of right eye with synthetic substitute, open 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 08U00JZ

UNSPSC 85551331 Supplement of right eye with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes ophthalmic surgical procedures; however, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no relevant activity aligned with the code's scope. The opportunities posted—independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—address healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing broadly, not ophthalmic implantation or eye surgery. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or incorrectly to these opportunities; there is a material mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited.

Recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP, due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System temporary health professional staffing RFQ, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP for the ferry system, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP, due April 9, 2026). The issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems and commissions, city retirement offices, and juvenile justice agencies. Given the consistent mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope, this code does not represent a reliable signal for ophthalmic device or surgical-procedure procurement at the state and local level.
