UNSPSC 85553214: Supplement right extraocular muscle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right extraocular muscle with nonautologous 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 08UL0KZ

UNSPSC 85553214 Supplement right extraocular muscle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve extraocular muscle supplementation or any related surgical implant work. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, and hospital-based emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's stated scope of supplementing eye muscles with nonautologous tissue during open surgery.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic data tagging error or that this code is being used as a catchall for broader medical services outside ophthalmic surgery. The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), state departments of transportation (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), and municipal human resources divisions (Long Beach), spanning Arizona, Washington, Florida, California, and Texas. Without opportunities that match the code's defined surgical procedure, this code does not present a clear procurement signal for vendors focused on extraocular muscle implants or related ophthalmic devices and supplies.
