This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of epiretinal visual prosthesis into left eye, open 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 08H105Z

UNSPSC 85552313 Insertion of epiretinal visual prosthesis into left eye, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under or near this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve epiretinal visual prosthesis insertion or related ophthalmic surgical implants. The code appears to be a clinical procedure code misaligned with state and local government purchasing patterns, which typically aggregate healthcare services procurement under broader family or class codes rather than at the granular level of specific surgical procedures.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting healthcare-related contracts in the recent window — including the Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — are procuring comprehensive medical services, pharmacy administration, virtual care delivery, behavioral health support, and medical direction oversight, not individual procedure codes. The mismatch between the nominal scope of UNSPSC 85552313 and the actual buying activity under related healthcare codes suggests this Commodity is either inactive in state and local procurement or routinely tagged incorrectly at posting. No geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or representative active opportunities support pursuing this code.
