UNSPSC 85551445: Replacement of left lens with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left lens 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 08RK37Z

UNSPSC 85551445 Replacement of left lens with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted by state and local bodies—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are soliciting independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve lens replacement or ophthalmic procedures under any funding or contracting mechanism.

The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific scope and the health services and benefit administration work actually being solicited suggests either a coding error in the opportunities database or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions tag their healthcare and benefits contracts. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and monitor the broader healthcare and human services categories if pursuing public-sector health delivery or benefits administration work.
