UNSPSC 85552608 Supplement left lacrimal duct with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect lacrimal duct work. Instead, the opportunities posted show state and local health authorities, pension boards, and transit agencies procuring occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. The code's application to state and local procurement appears misaligned with its technical clinical name; the actual work being solicited encompasses broad medical administration, employee health screening, claims processing, and clinical staffing placement rather than a discrete surgical procedure on the lacrimal system.

Recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at Washington State Ferries due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories due October 7, 2026. Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington, with opportunities spanning cities, counties, state departments, and regional health systems. The code shows mixed issuing-body participation but minimal coherent thematic alignment with the stated commodity definition.
