UNSPSC 85291804: Diagnosis of stenosis and insufficiency of lacrimal passages

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Stenosis and insufficiency of lacrimal passages. Stenosis and insufficiency of lacrimal passages is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as a four digit category under code H04. 5

UNSPSC 85291804 Diagnosis of stenosis and insufficiency of lacrimal passages is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local contract opportunities. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing at Santa Clara County Health System—do not address lacrimal passage diagnosis or treatment. The code's nominal scope describes ophthalmologic diagnostic procedures for tear-duct obstruction or valve insufficiency, yet the actual opportunities being tagged to it span healthcare IT infrastructure, school-based special education services including audiology and speech therapy, and temporary clinical staffing across ancillary health professions including radiology and respiratory care. No solicitations in the recent-opportunities block request lacrimal-passage diagnostic equipment, supplies, or professional services aligned with the code's stated purpose.

The geographic spread across these opportunities includes California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with issuing bodies spanning a county hospital system, an independent school district, and a county health system. The mismatch between the code's technical focus and the work actually being procured suggests either systematic miscoding or that this code is rarely used in state and local procurement for its intended purpose. No recent activity directly relevant to lacrimal passage diagnosis appears in the source material.
