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 08B1XZZ

UNSPSC 85551915 Excision of left eye, external approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under recent state and local contract opportunities. The code's nominal scope names a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which align with surgical ophthalmology or eye excision procedures. This mismatch indicates that either the code has been incorrectly applied to these opportunities or that the opportunities are tagged with a code that does not match their actual service content.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department, California), spanning Georgia, Florida, and California with no concentration in a single state. Recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services for peer workers under the Mental Health Services Act ($580,000 total funding, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated surgical procedure classification.
