UNSPSC 85551542, Removal of infusion device from left eye, via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The code describes a specific medical procedure — removal of an intraocular infusion device from the left eye — yet the source contains six recent opportunities across state and local health systems, counties, and transit authorities, none of which match this clinical scope. The opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None involves removal of ocular infusion devices or anything approximating that procedure.

State and local procurement does not appear to use this code for active solicitations, or the jurisdictions posting these opportunities have tagged them incorrectly. The mismatch suggests either that the code is not actively bid, or that recent opportunities have been miscoded. Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for current state and local opportunity pursuit unless posterior evidence surfaces opportunities that align with the stated procedure scope.
