UNSPSC 85552314: Insertion of epiretinal visual prosthesis into right eye, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of epiretinal visual prosthesis into right 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 08H005Z

UNSPSC 85552314 Insertion of epiretinal visual prosthesis into right eye, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific surgical implant procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect implant-focused procurement. Instead, the code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities tagged to it span correctional facility medical services (intake screening, chronic care management, emergency referrals, formulary development), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (claims processing, formulary oversight, specialty drug management), virtual primary and urgent care delivery platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction oversight. These activities bear no clear relationship to epiretinal visual prosthesis insertion. The mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency in the source database or that this code does not reliably capture the work state and local governments are actually buying in this domain.

The issuing bodies in the recent sample span county departments (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, Collier County and Monroe County in Florida, San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California), with human resources, behavioral health, and public safety portfolios. Geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California. Without a coherent set of procurement records aligned to this code's stated scope, the summary recommends direct verification with issuing jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged to 85552314.
