UNSPSC 85551543: Removal of radioactive element 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 radioactive element 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 08P171Z

UNSPSC 85551543 Removal of radioactive element from left eye, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The code's nominal scope—a highly specific surgical procedure for ocular radiotherapy or radioactive implant removal—does not match the medical services state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification.

The recent opportunities instead reflect administrative health services, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical carve-out programs. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach sought a surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence (HR26753, RFP, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across thirteen specialty categories excluding nursing and physician services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies span county health systems, county commissioners' offices, city retirement boards, and state transportation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows little activity aligned with its stated scope and appears to be a tagging artifact rather than a meaningful procurement vehicle for pursuit.
