UNSPSC 85552905: Extirpation of matter from left lower eyelid, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left lower eyelid, 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 08CR3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552905 Extirpation of matter from left lower eyelid, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a nominal surgical procedure name that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local government activity recently posted under it. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned to its clinical definition. Of the six recent opportunities tagged to this code, five address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve eyelid surgery or percutaneous extirpation. Only one opportunity, the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (posted August 24, 2026, responses due September 25, 2026), touches on specialty medical care broadly, but provides no detail on clinical scope, volume, or incumbent. The code appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-matching error across multiple issuing bodies rather than a signal of active procurement demand for the procedure named.

The single outlier is the Washington State Department of Transportation request for occupational medical surveillance services (posted August 25, 2026, proposals due October 9, 2026), which does require physician-led medical examinations but addresses baseline and periodic occupational health screenings across 14 ferry system locations, not surgical intervention. Geographic spread across the recent postings spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but this geographic diversity reflects mismatch rather than market concentration. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with state and local procurement offices before pursuing opportunities tagged to it, as the recent posting pattern suggests systematic miscoding rather than active demand for eyelid surgery services in the public sector.
