UNSPSC 85551914: Extirpation of matter from right eye, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 08C0XZZ

UNSPSC 85551914 Extirpation of matter from right eye, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope. The code appears designed to classify ophthalmic surgical procedures, yet the six recent state and local opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability evaluations, surgical carve-out networks for government employees, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve eye surgery or matter removal. This mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification in the issuing jurisdictions' procurement systems or a code assignment error in the opportunity feeds.

The opportunities that are posted do represent active state and local buying across diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks, starting April 2027), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, two-year base with extension options), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services, RFI stage), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, $8.7 million historical annual spend), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pools across 13 clinical categories). Geographic activity spans California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. The code itself does not reliably signal procurement intent; business development professionals should track these opportunities through functional category monitoring rather than UNSPSC alignment under this code.
