UNSPSC 85551470: Replacement of left eye with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left eye 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 08R13JZ

UNSPSC 85551470 Replacement of left eye with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six most-recent opportunities tagged under this code solicited independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management services (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve synthetic eye implants or ocular prosthetics; they reflect routine municipal, county, and state health insurance administration, occupational health compliance, and staffing procurement.

The mismatch between the code's medical-device focus and the actual opportunities suggests the code is either used inconsistently in state and local taxonomy systems or has been applied as a catch-all medical classification. No genuine eye-replacement or ocular prosthetic procurement appears in the recent block. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify with individual jurisdictions whether medical device procurement (including ophthalmologic implants) routes through alternative UNSPSC families or whether state and local health systems treat such purchases as part of broader medical supplies, institutional purchasing agreements, or hospital capital equipment budgets rather than discrete commodity codes.
