UNSPSC 85552853: Replacement of right upper eyelid with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right upper eyelid with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 08RN3JZ

UNSPSC 85552853 Replacement of right upper eyelid with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its medical-procedure scope and the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve eyelid replacement or ophthalmologic surgery; instead, they encompass independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These procurements span administrative health services, benefits management, occupational medicine compliance, and facility-based clinical staffing — none of which align with the specific surgical procedure named in the code's title. State and local issuers posting under this code include cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), counties (Harris, Collier, Santa Clara), and state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). The only solicitation with any ophthalmology content is Santa Clara's health professional staffing pool, which lists Ophthalmology as one of thirteen eligible categories but makes no mention of surgical procedures or eyelid reconstruction.

The code shows recent activity across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with a five-year contract value of $750,000, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive temporary health professional staffing solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The assignment of these opportunities to a code for eyelid replacement surgery indicates either a tagging or taxonomy misalignment rather than genuine procurement demand for the specific surgical procedure the code describes. Pursuit under this code carries substantial risk of category mismatch; vendors should verify actual scope alignment directly with issuing bodies before investing in proposal development.
