This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left cornea with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85551465 Replacement of left cornea with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominal taxonomy labels as a specific ophthalmologic surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve corneal replacement or tissue-substitute procedures. The issuing bodies include state health and transportation departments, county boards of commissioners and probation departments, and municipal retirement and health systems; repeat buyers are absent in the recent block. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington State, and Texas.

Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) spanning 14 ferry system locations with baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations for shipyard and vessel crew; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for 75 annual disability benefit applications with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (258414, due April 9, 2026) for 2,400 enrolled employees against approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending. The code shows substantial activity in healthcare administration, occupational health, and benefits management rather than surgical intervention services, suggesting a potential category misclassification or upstream tagging error in the procurement database.
