UNSPSC 85551428 Supplement right cornea with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — ophthalmic surgical procedures — does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit administration, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve corneal tissue transplantation or ophthalmologic surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the opportunities actually being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged or that this UNSPSC category is not actively used for state and local government medical procurement. The issuing bodies represented in the block include county human resources departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a county juvenile justice department (Harris County Juvenile Probation), but none are procuring the ophthalmologic service named in the code. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the coding alignment with relevant state and local procurement offices before pursuing opportunities in this category.
