UNSPSC 85553223: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left extraocular muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left 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 08PM0KZ

UNSPSC 85553223 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left extraocular muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title describes a specific ophthalmological surgical procedure; however, the available recent opportunities under this code are unrelated to extraocular muscle surgery or tissue substitutes and instead span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation services, and general hospital-based emergency and specialty care for youth in custody. The code appears to be attracting a broad range of health service procurements that do not align with the surgical intervention named in the code itself, suggesting either tagging errors in state and local procurement systems or a mismatch between taxonomic classification and actual purchasing intent.

Recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems. The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The absence of recent opportunities directly related to extraocular muscle surgical procedures suggests this code warrants scrutiny in your procurement tracking — the activity reflected here does not support pursuit decisions for firms specializing in the surgical service the code nominally describes.
