This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element from right 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 08P081Z

UNSPSC 85551551 Removal of radioactive element from right eye, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure for ocular radioactive material removal — does not align with the state and local solicitations currently tagged under it. Recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefits, and juvenile detention medical services — none of which involve the removal of radioactive elements or ophthalmologic surgical procedures. The misalignment suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or a fundamental mismatch between the code's clinical definition and its current procurement use.

Recent activity appears across multiple state and local jurisdictions: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out, HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations, RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services, 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, 258414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not support pursuit under its stated clinical definition; vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC coding with issuing bodies before responding to opportunities tagged under 85551551.
