UNSPSC 85551344: Replacement of right eye with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right eye with autologous 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 08R007Z

UNSPSC 85551344 Replacement of right eye with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure—bears no relation to the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged with this code reflect health system procurement activity in occupational health surveillance, medical record summarization for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve ocular tissue replacement or surgical implantation of any kind. This code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the procurement system or the code's use as a catch-all placeholder for health-services spending that does not align with its medical-procedure definition.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span state departments, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP, Oct 16 response deadline) seeks independent medical evaluation services for 75 annual disability pension determinations; the Long Beach city government (RFP, Oct 7 deadline) is requesting surgical benefit carve-out management through Centers of Excellence for its Anthem PPO plan covering roughly 3,800 active employees and retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (RFP, Oct 9 deadline, pre-bid Aug 31) is buying occupational medical surveillance across 14 statewide locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI, Sep 25 deadline) is seeking emergency and specialty hospital care for detained youth; Collier County (RFP, Apr 9 deadline, annual historical spend ~$8.7 million) is procuring pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System (RFP, Oct 7 deadline) is building a multi-category temporary clinical staffing pool. None of these solicitations map to the code's stated scope, and the volume of mismatch suggests this code may not be a productive pursuit category for firms focused on state and local health services contracting.
