UNSPSC 85551469: Replacement of left eye with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement 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 08R13KZ

UNSPSC 85551469 Replacement of left eye with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope focused on ophthalmologic surgical procedures. However, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect ocular tissue replacement work; instead, they reflect broad occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The issuing bodies include county health systems, city pension boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county commissioners offices — a mix reflecting administrative, operational, and clinical functions across different jurisdictions. The geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single region.

Recent opportunities posted under this code include the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for employees enrolled in an Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Additional recent solicitations include Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, completed April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests this Commodity code is either misconfigured in the source data or misapplied by issuing bodies to general health services work rather than ophthalmologic tissue replacement procedures.
