UNSPSC 85552602: Restriction of left lacrimal duct with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left lacrimal duct with intraluminal device, 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 08VY0DZ

UNSPSC 85552602 Restriction of left lacrimal duct with intraluminal device, open approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under this code classify work that does not align with that scope: independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve lacrimal duct restriction procedures or intraluminal devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding on the part of issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC category taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are tagging these opportunities.

The issuing bodies include Arizona municipal retirement boards, California city and county health systems, a Washington state transportation agency, a Texas county juvenile detention authority, and a Florida county benefits consortium. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. No trend toward repeat buyers or concentrated procurement activity emerges from the source material. Absent evidence that this code is actively used to solicit actual lacrimal duct procedures or related ophthalmic devices at the state and local level, the code presents minimal business development opportunity in its stated scope.
