UNSPSC 85551559: Removal of radioactive element from right 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 right 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 08P071Z

UNSPSC 85551559 Removal of radioactive element from right eye, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a highly specialized surgical procedure; recent state and local solicitations posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical record review, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and juvenile detention healthcare services — none of which involves radioactive element removal or ophthalmologic surgery. The mismatch indicates that this code has been applied incorrectly to unrelated health and human services opportunities and does not represent a meaningful procurement category for the target market.

No state and local opportunities substantively matching the code's stated scope have been posted recently. The issuing bodies tagging opportunities to this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — a diverse mix of city, county, state, and special-purpose agencies — but their actual procurement needs fall outside the code's nominal medical and surgical domain. This code appears to be a data-quality issue rather than a viable procurement opportunity vector.
