UNSPSC 85551482: Removal of synthetic substitute from right lens, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 08PJ3JZ

UNSPSC 85551482 Removal of synthetic substitute from right lens, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no alignment between its abstract medical-procedure code title and the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve ophthalmic lens removal or percutaneous procedures. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than an active procurement category for the work it nominally describes.

State and local procurement offices posting under this code represent a diverse issuing-body mix: city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and municipal human resources offices (City of Long Beach). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity suggests this Commodity code is not an appropriate or reliable vehicle for business development targeting in state and local procurement at this time.
