UNSPSC 85552625: Resection of left lacrimal duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left lacrimal duct, 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 08TY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85552625 Resection of left lacrimal duct, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the lacrimal system, but recent solicitations tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefits for health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve lacrimal duct resection or related ophthalmologic surgical procedures. State and local purchasing offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly across disparate medical and administrative services categories that bear no clinical relationship to the code's stated procedure.

The sourced opportunities span multiple issuing-body types including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county procurement offices (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), with geographic activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid scheduled August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited under it, this code presents no actionable procurement opportunity for vendors in ophthalmologic or lacrimal surgical services.
