UNSPSC 85552610: Supplement right lacrimal duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right lacrimal duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 08UX0KZ

UNSPSC 85552610 Supplement right lacrimal duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's stated scope. The most-recent-opportunities block contains six solicitations spanning independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve lacrimal duct supplementation or any ophthalmic procedure. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied in state and local procurement databases or that the tagging reflects a data-entry error rather than an intentional alignment between the commodity definition and actual purchasing activity.

The geographic spread of opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including municipal retirement boards, city human resources departments, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile probation departments. Given the absence of lacrimal-duct-related procurement and the diversity of health services being solicited across different jurisdictions and sectors, this code does not present a coherent procurement signal for business development targeting. Firms evaluating whether to pursue opportunities under UNSPSC 85552610 should verify the code assignment with the issuing procurement office before committing resources, as the current tagging does not reflect the actual scope of work being bought.
