UNSPSC 85551913: Extirpation of matter from left eye, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left eye, external approach. 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 08C1XZZ

UNSPSC 85551913 Extirpation of matter from left eye, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect ophthalmic work; instead, they span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging anomaly in the posting system or that this code is being applied to a broader class of medical services administration rather than a discrete surgical intervention. State and local procurement activity under this code does not align with its stated scope.

The opportunities that have been posted span diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county human resources divisions across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal surgical scope and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited under it, this code presents limited signal for business development purposes and warrants verification of the applicable UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
