UNSPSC 85552750: Destruction of right upper eyelid, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right upper eyelid, 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 085N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85552750 Destruction of right upper eyelid, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent contract opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—destruction of the right upper eyelid using an open surgical approach—yet the recent solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve eyelid destruction or ophthalmologic surgery as a direct service offering.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity signals that either the code has been misapplied by issuing bodies, or the code serves as a catchall for health services contracting more broadly in state and local procurement systems. The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing)—spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Because the code shows no relevant recent activity in ophthalmologic procedures or eyelid surgery, state and local procurement professionals should verify code classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85552750, or consider the code inactive for procurement planning purposes.
