UNSPSC 85551342: Replacement of right eye with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right eye with nonautologous tissue 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 08R00KZ

UNSPSC 85551342 Replacement of right eye with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the state and local solicitations tagged under it are unrelated to ocular surgery or tissue replacement. Instead, the opportunities reflect independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgery carve-out benefits, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's stated surgical scope.

The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity suggests either a classification error in the tagging systems of the issuing bodies or that this code is not a meaningful vehicle for pursuing state and local contracts. No opportunities in the source material reference eye replacement procedures, ocular implants, or related surgical services. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the appropriate UNSPSC classification for their target services rather than relying on this code's current tagging patterns.
