UNSPSC 85551911 Extirpation of matter from left lens, external approach is a Commodity code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve ophthalmic surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's stated name and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are tagging healthcare and benefit-administration services to an ophthalmology-specific code without precision, making this code a poor targeting vector for firms offering lens-extraction services or related eye surgery.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), city retirement boards (Phoenix), city employee benefits departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and state departments. Recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026 for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefits carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026. Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no clear concentration in any single state or region.
