UNSPSC 85551487: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left eye, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from left eye, 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 08P137Z

UNSPSC 85551487 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left eye, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity as currently reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of autologous tissue from the eye or ophthalmic procedures. This appears to be a taxonomy mismatch in which procurement offices have applied a clinical procedure code to administrative and operational health services contracting.

The issuing bodies span a diverse mix: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of pension boards), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with solicitations posted between July and September 2026. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure named in its definition; vendors evaluating this code should verify the actual scope of work with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities.
