This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left lacrimal gland, external approach.

UNSPSC 85552545 Extirpation of matter from left lacrimal gland, external approach is a Commodity code that displays a material mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the recent state and local opportunities actually posted under it. The code's clinical description—a specific ophthalmologic surgical procedure—does not align with the six recent opportunities in the block, which span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations represent administrative healthcare procurement and staffing, not surgical procedures. The code shows minimal recent activity relevant to its stated commodity definition, and the opportunities that do carry the code appear to reflect either classification error or misalignment between the taxonomy and the issuing bodies' tagging practices.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity concentrates in Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award staffing pool for temporary health professionals due October 7, 2026. Because the commodity code's actual medical procedure scope does not match the healthcare administration and staffing work currently being tagged to it in state and local procurement systems, business development professionals should treat this code as presently inactive for its nominal purpose and verify jurisdiction-specific taxonomy interpretation before pursuit.
