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 08JKXZZ

UNSPSC 85551903 Inspection of left lens, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal taxonomy label and the medical services state and local governments are actually procuring under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve ophthalmologic or lens-related inspection work. The code appears to be a systematic misfiling rather than a meaningful procurement category; state and local issuing bodies are using it to classify general medical services contracting that falls outside the code's apparent specialty scope.

Activity spans multiple state jurisdictions and issuing bodies. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 for physician-led examinations across 14 ferry locations statewide. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited disability medical record summarization and independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Collier County posted an earlier RFP for pharmacy benefit management (due April 9, 2026) with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows recent activity in Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, but the underlying procurement taxonomy mismatch limits its utility as a reliable filtering tool for related opportunities.
