UNSPSC 85551531: Removal of intraluminal device from left eye, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of intraluminal device from left eye, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 08P18DZ

UNSPSC 85551531 Removal of intraluminal device from left eye, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve ophthalmic surgical procedures; instead, they reflect procurement for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review, surgical benefits management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. The code appears to be a metadata tagging error within state and local procurement systems rather than an accurate classification of the work being solicited. As a result, this code carries little relevance to vendors pursuing contracts aligned with the code's stated clinical definition.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The Washington State Ferries posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, requiring examinations across 14 ferry locations and contract terms up to seven years total. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and responses to written inquiries due September 29, 2026. None of these solicitations align with ophthalmic intraluminal device removal, and vendors should not rely on this code as a valid market signal for opportunities in that specialty.
