This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left choroid 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 08RB0JZ

UNSPSC 85551334 Replacement of left choroid with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with little relevance to actual purchasing activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical implants, ophthalmologic procedures, or medical devices; instead, they span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the breadth of health services actually being solicited suggests either tagging error or a fundamental misalignment between the code hierarchy and how state and local procurement offices classify health services work.

State and local activity under this code comes from county human resources and health authorities, state transportation departments, and independent school or special-purpose districts managing employee benefits and occupational health programs. Recent solicitations posted by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical care carve-out networks for employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026) reveal an issuing-body mix dominated by county and city human resources functions, state health and transportation departments, and public health systems managing employee and beneficiary care. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, and Washington in the most recent postings, with activity also appearing in Florida and Texas. If pursuing business under this code, verify the actual scope before committing resources—the code's nominal name bears little relation to the health services work state and local bodies are actually buying.
