UNSPSC 85553324: Removal of synthetic substitute from left extraocular muscle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left extraocular muscle, percutaneous 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 08PM3JZ

UNSPSC 85553324, Removal of synthetic substitute from left extraocular muscle, percutaneous approach (Commodity), does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmologic surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of extraocular muscle implants or related ophthalmologic surgery. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare services procurement rather than for the specific procedure its name describes.

State and local jurisdictions posting under this code include the City of Phoenix, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System, representing a mix of municipal retirement administrations, municipal benefits procurement, state transportation authorities, county youth detention systems, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Geographic concentration is too dispersed across the opportunities to identify a regional cluster. No recent opportunities directly solicit ophthalmologic surgical services or extraocular muscle implant removal, making this code inactive for its nominal scope.
