This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left 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 08CPXZZ

UNSPSC 85552549 Extirpation of matter from left upper eyelid, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for public employees, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's stated scope of upper-eyelid surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the issuing jurisdictions' procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed in practice to capture broader healthcare service contracting that standard UNSPSC taxonomy does not address cleanly.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation, County of Santa Clara), cities (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county commissioners (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not align with the work actually being solicited, business development professionals should treat this code as unreliable for targeting genuine surgical ophthalmology contracting and verify procurement need directly with customer agencies before pursuing.
