UNSPSC 85551419: Supplement left iris with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left iris with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 08UD37Z

UNSPSC 85551419 Supplement left iris with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities posted under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care for county employees, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—are unrelated to ophthalmic surgical procedures or iris supplementation. These solicitations span healthcare administration, benefits management, and personnel services but do not involve the surgical ophthalmology work the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code taxonomy and actual procurement activity suggests the code is either incorrectly applied by issuing bodies, rarely used for state and local contracting, or both. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as low-activity and verify code assignment when responding to opportunities tagged with this designation, as the posted solicitations do not align with the medical device or surgical service scope implied by the code name.
