UNSPSC 85552104: Insertion of radioactive element into left eye, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into left eye, percutaneous 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 08H131Z

UNSPSC 85552104 Insertion of radioactive element into left eye, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific medical procedure, but state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with that clinical scope. The recent opportunities identified in this code's stream include inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management services, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve radioactive insertions or ophthalmologic procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code has been applied incorrectly to healthcare service contracts that fall under broader medical administration or managed-care categories.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida) and a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County, California), along with a city fire department (Santa Monica, California). The recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and California, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). Given the divergence between the code's stated procedure and the actual procurements being tagged, business development professionals should verify proper code assignment before committing pursuit resources to opportunities listed under this code.
