UNSPSC 85551464: Replacement of left cornea with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left cornea with synthetic 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 08R93JZ

UNSPSC 85551464 Replacement of left cornea with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code. The recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code does not reflect corneal replacement procedures or ophthalmological surgical implants; instead, the opportunities solicited are for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations span health administration, benefits consulting, and occupational health services rather than medical devices or ophthalmic surgical procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied to general health services procurement, suggesting minimal or no actual state and local demand for corneal replacement implants under this specific UNSPSC designation.

The issuing bodies include county departments of transportation and health systems (Washington State Department of Transportation, Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources and procurement functions (City of Long Beach, Collier County), representing a mix of state agencies, county health systems, county commissioners, and city government. Geographic activity spans Washington State, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool RFP due October 7, 2026. Given the divergence between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not support a business development strategy focused on corneal replacement devices or implants in state and local procurement.
