UNSPSC 85553213: Supplement left extraocular muscle with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left extraocular muscle with autologous tissue substitute, 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 08UM07Z

UNSPSC 85553213 Supplement left extraocular muscle with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure to supplement the left extraocular muscle using autologous tissue in an open surgical approach—a highly specialized ophthalmologic intervention. Recent opportunities posted under this code, however, do not align with the code's clinical scope; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, and youth detention emergency medical care. These solicitations reflect administrative health-benefit management and clinical staffing services rather than the specific extraocular muscle repair procedure the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests that either the code has been applied incorrectly by issuing bodies or that state and local procurement databases are using this code as a catch-all for broad healthcare service categories rather than as a precise procedure identifier. Issuers include county boards of commissioners (Collier County, Harris County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state departments of transportation (Washington State Ferries), and city employee benefits offices (Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without opportunities that materially involve extraocular muscle repair or reconstruction services, this code does not present a meaningful business development target for firms offering surgical services in that specialty.
