UNSPSC 85551400: Bulbus or globe structure, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 24 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the bulbus or globe structure with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 08.

UNSPSC 85551400 Bulbus or globe structure, percutaneous approach is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-device scope and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare services—inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—rather than ophthalmic or percutaneous bulbar procedures or devices. The issuing bodies span county corrections departments, county health and human services agencies, county boards of commissioners, and municipal fire departments, operating across different funding and service mandates. No recent opportunities in the source materially match the code's stated commodity description.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), though the small sample and the mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope suggest the code designation itself may reflect administrative tagging rather than genuine commodity alignment. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026). The persistent misalignment between the code name and the scope of work being solicited signals either a cataloging error in how these opportunities were indexed or a systematic mismatch in how state and local procurement offices are applying UNSPSC 85551400. Firms pursuing healthcare-services contracts should verify the actual commodity scope directly with issuing bodies rather than rely on this code assignment as a reliable filter.
