UNSPSC 85552713 Extirpation of matter from left upper eyelid, open approach is a Commodity code whose title reflects a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code diverges substantially from ophthalmic surgery. The recent-opportunities block shows no solicitations for eyelid surgery or related ophthalmologic procedures. Instead, the code appears to have been applied to a mix of medical administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and clinical staffing services — categories unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations (due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 state locations (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for a health PPO plan (due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency, inpatient, and specialty healthcare services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought Pharmacy Benefit Management services for approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026, with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, gastroenterology, and therapy services (due October 7, 2026).

The issuing bodies are predominantly municipal governments and county health systems or benefits administration offices rather than surgical centers or hospitals performing ophthalmic procedures. Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), Washington State, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The code shows no coherent procurement signal for ophthalmic or eyelid surgery services. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed for health services administration outside its defined scope. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify that issuing bodies intend the actual work category rather than assume alignment between the code label and the solicitation content.
