UNSPSC 85552516: Resection of right upper eyelid, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right upper eyelid, external 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 08TNXZZ

UNSPSC 85552516 Resection of right upper eyelid, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a surgical procedure for eyelid resection — does not match the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The five most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these opportunities involve eyelid surgery or related ophthalmologic procedures. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for health services contracting that does not correspond to its intended commodity definition.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities represent a mix of county corrections departments, county human resources and health agencies, county boards of commissioners, and municipal fire departments across Georgia, Florida, and California. No recent opportunities specifically solicit ophthalmologic surgical services or eyelid procedures under this code. The absence of relevant activity suggests that state and local procurement professionals pursuing ophthalmic surgical services should not rely on this code for opportunity identification and should instead verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing jurisdiction before committing resources to pursuit.
