UNSPSC 85551484 Removal of synthetic substitute from left eye, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows little connection to the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which relate to ophthalmologic procedures. The code does not reflect what state and local governments are actually procuring under this tag.

The issuing bodies across these records span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, WSDOT), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting typical state and local health service purchasing patterns. Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at state ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The classification mismatch between code and opportunity type suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement database or a scope drift in how this code is being applied across jurisdictions.
