This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left eye, 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 08P10KZ

UNSPSC 85551347 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left eye, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedural name and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities posted against this code do not involve eye surgery or tissue removal; instead, they span occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs through centers of excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and detention facility healthcare services. The issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, county health systems, county procurement and human resources offices, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal retirement boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than a true representation of the underlying procurement scope.

The most concrete recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summarization and scheduling of physician examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications at a maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations statewide; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) on a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor list. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the medical administration and occupational health services actually being purchased, firms should verify code assignment in any notice before pursuing work under this classification.
