This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right lacrimal duct with extraluminal device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85552606 Restriction of right lacrimal duct with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure for the management of lacrimal duct obstruction. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with ophthalmic surgical devices or lacrimal duct procedures. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical and medical procedure management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which relate to lacrimal duct restriction devices or ophthalmologic instrumentation. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited indicates that this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in the ophthalmic device or surgical instrument sector.

The most recent opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Washington State, Florida, and Texas, issued by city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county health systems, county commissioners, and juvenile probation departments. Because the posted opportunities do not reflect the code's stated medical device classification, business development professionals should verify the accuracy of code assignment in any formal RFP or RFQ before committing resources to pursue these opportunities.
