UNSPSC 85553218: Resection of right extraocular muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right extraocular muscle, 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 08TL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85553218 Resection of right extraocular muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local procurement activity. The recent contract opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to the code's nominal medical procedure scope: they address independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve extraocular muscle surgery or ophthalmologic procedures. The code-to-opportunity mismatch suggests either tagging error or administrative classification that does not align with the code's intended purpose.

No relevant state and local solicitations matching the actual scope of UNSPSC 85553218 appear in recent activity. Practitioners should verify code assignment when evaluating procurement interest in ophthalmologic surgical services at the state and local level, as the opportunities currently tagged to this code do not represent the market for which the code is designed.
