This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left lens, 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 08PK3JZ

UNSPSC 85551481 Removal of synthetic substitute from left lens, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal designation bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its medical-procedure taxonomy entry; the six opportunities surfaced span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which address ophthalmic lens removal or percutaneous procedures. This represents a fundamental mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited by state and local jurisdictions under it.

The issuing bodies in the recent pool include state transportation departments, county commissioners, county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and county probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations covering approximately 75 annual applications with an RFP due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a temporary health professional staffing pool with responses due October 7, 2026; and Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services with an RFP deadline of April 9, 2026. Given the misalignment between the Commodity code's description and the actual work being solicited, pursuing opportunities under this code requires careful verification that individual solicitations genuinely match vendor capability before advancing.
