UNSPSC 85553231: Release 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 08NM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85553231 Release left extraocular muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that names a specific surgical procedure for eye muscle repair, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The opportunities posted include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and medical director services for a fire department — none of which involve ophthalmic surgery or extraocular muscle release. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical scope, and the opportunities that do appear under it suggest either miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or a data classification error in the procurement system.

The geographic spread of these mismatched opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government for Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica), reflecting activity across multiple states and jurisdiction types including county health departments, county commissioners' offices, fire departments, and behavioral health agencies. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026). Given the absence of ophthalmic surgical procurement under this code in the recent record, firms pursuing work in ocular surgery, eye care, or ophthalmology through state and local channels should verify the correct UNSPSC classification or search under related codes focused on surgical services or eye care rather than rely on this commodity designation.
