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 08BJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552112 (Excision of right lens, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve administrative healthcare contracting, benefits design, and personnel placement rather than ophthalmologic surgical procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical technique (phacoemulsification or related cataract removal), which state and local procurement offices do not solicit as a standalone service line.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with none pursuing actual lens extraction services. Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but the mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being bought suggests the code lacks meaningful recent state and local procurement activity in its true scope. When state and local agencies do procure surgical services, they typically bundle them within broader health plan administration, managed care agreements, or occupational health programs—none of which fit the UNSPSC 85552112 definition. Practitioners should treat this code as inactive in state and local markets and verify the correct commodity or service-level classification for any prospective opportunities claiming alignment with it.
