UNSPSC 85552109: Extirpation of matter from left lens, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left lens, 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 08CK3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552109 Extirpation of matter from left lens, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code — including independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for city employees, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — span administrative medical services, benefits management, and occupational health programs unrelated to cataract extraction or any lens-directed intervention. The mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in how opportunities were tagged or a fundamental divergence between the code's clinical specificity and the work actually being purchased.

The source contains no state and local procurement activity genuinely aligned with ophthalmic surgical services under this code. Readers should verify the code assignment in any RFP or IFB directly; if purchasing ophthalmic surgical procedures, eye care equipment, or related clinical services, confirm that the correct UNSPSC classification has been applied to the opportunity before developing a proposal response or capability submission.
