UNSPSC 85551429: Supplement of left eye with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement of left eye with nonautologous 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 08U13KZ

UNSPSC 85551429 Supplement of left eye with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities posted under it involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with corneal or ocular tissue supplementation, transplantation, or related surgical supply procurement. The mismatch suggests the code may have been assigned incorrectly by issuing agencies or that state and local jurisdictions rarely or never tag ocular tissue procedures under this particular UNSPSC classification.

Given the absence of actual ophthalmic surgical or tissue-supply solicitations in the recent opportunity block, pursuit under this code is not warranted at this time. Firms seeking state and local business in ophthalmology, eye surgery, or tissue substitutes should verify the correct UNSPSC codes through the issuing jurisdictions' procurement portals or request clarification during RFP Q&A cycles rather than rely on this code's current tagging patterns.
