UNSPSC 85551538: Removal of synthetic substitute from left eye, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left eye, via natural or artificial opening. 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 08P17JZ

UNSPSC 85551538 Removal of synthetic substitute from left eye, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code instead reflect broader health services contracting: independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention emergency medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations bear no relationship to ophthalmic surgical removal procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of entry or a data-quality issue within the state and local procurement system; the code does not currently reflect meaningful purchasing patterns across jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies in the tagged records span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems, but none of these opportunities actually procure eye surgery services or related ophthalmologic procedures. Without recent, properly coded solicitations under this Commodity code, business development professionals evaluating actual market demand should treat it as dormant or misaligned within the current state and local opportunity stream.
