UNSPSC 85551466: Replacement of right cornea with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right cornea 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 08R83KZ

UNSPSC 85551466 Replacement of right cornea with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, and youth detention medical services — none of which align with corneal replacement procurement or implantable tissue substitutes. This mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual state and local buying patterns in this category.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county commissioners, state transportation departments, health systems, and juvenile justice agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington — indicating these are administrative and clinical staffing contracts rather than orthopedic or ophthalmologic supply and equipment purchases. No recent solicitations target corneal grafts, tissue banks, or related surgical implants. State and local governments appear not to procure under this code for the work the code nominally describes.
