UNSPSC 85552407: Supplement left retina with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left retina with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 08UF3KZ

UNSPSC 85552407 Supplement left retina with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code, however, bear no connection to ophthalmic surgery or retinal procedures. The solicitations instead span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve retinal supplementation or tissue substitutes. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied in state and local procurement systems or reflects a data-entry error in the underlying opportunities.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no dominant concentration and no apparent pattern linking the code's abstract definition to the work being procured. Given the absence of relevant recent opportunities genuinely soliciting ophthalmic surgical products or services under this code, pursuit is not recommended without verification that the code has been correctly assigned by the issuing body.
