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 08DJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552108 Extraction of right lens, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—ophthalmologic extraction of a lens via percutaneous technique—yet the six most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve extraction of lenses or percutaneous ophthalmologic procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread runs Washington, Arizona, California (two jurisdictions), Florida, and Texas.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought under it suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed as a catch-all for medical service procurement. Given that no recent opportunities involve extraction of a right lens or percutaneous ophthalmologic procedures, bidders should verify the actual service or product scope with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities tagged with this code. The code does not currently reflect actionable procurement opportunity for vendors specializing in ophthalmic surgical procedures.
