UNSPSC 85552771 Alteration of right upper eyelid with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not align with its stated scope—surgical alteration of the upper eyelid. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader health and medical services procurement: occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County). None of these solicitations involve eyelid surgery or surgical ophthalmology procedures.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems and boards, and municipalities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local systems applying this code or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services rather than reserved for its specific surgical procedure. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring eyelid alteration surgery itself under this code at present; instead, they are buying administrative and staffing services related to medical benefit management and occupational health. Business development professionals should verify with individual issuing bodies whether this code is intentionally applied to broader medical services categories or whether procurement notices have been miscoded before pursuing activity under it.
