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 08VY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85552601 Restriction of left lacrimal duct, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on the lacrimal system — a clinical intervention that falls within medical practice and hospital operations — yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. These opportunities involve contracting for healthcare services administration, staffing coordination, and benefit management rather than performing or procuring the lacrimal duct restriction procedure itself. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought signals a tagging error in the underlying procurement records.

State and local bodies posting these opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out administration), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The actual work being solicited — administrative services, vendor coordination, and temporary staffing for healthcare delivery — does not correspond to the procedural surgical code assigned. This code appears to see no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.
