UNSPSC 85551541: Removal of autologous tissue 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 autologous tissue 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 08P177Z

UNSPSC 85551541, "Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left eye, via natural or artificial opening," is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure. The recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code, however, shows no alignment with that clinical descriptor. Instead, the opportunities reflect a range of health services procurement — medical record review and disability evaluation coordination, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of autologous tissue from the eye. The code appears to be a classification mismatch in the source data; opportunities are being tagged with a procedure code when the underlying solicitations address administrative medical services, health plan management, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation authority (Harris County), and county commissioners (Collier County). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services and disability record summarization (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferry locations statewide (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code exhibits no coherent procurement signal and should not be relied upon for business development targeting in ophthalmic surgery, occupational health, or health services administration.
