UNSPSC 85552635: Reposition left lacrimal gland, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left lacrimal gland, 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 08SW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85552635 "Reposition left lacrimal gland, open approach" is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities solicited under it bear no clear relationship to lacrimal gland surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity — the four posted opportunities span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these directly involve lacrimal gland repositioning or the surgical procedures the code nominally describes, suggesting either consistent miscoding by issuing bodies or a data mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions are tagging health-services procurement.

The issuing-body mix spans state departments, county governments, and city procurement offices — Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, and Santa Clara County Health System. Geographic activity includes Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Because the opportunities do not align with the code's stated scope, pursue this code only if you already hold a roster-based contract or pre-qualified vendor position in occupational health surveillance, medical staffing, or health plan administration — and even then, treat the code as a secondary descriptor rather than a primary signal for lacrimal surgery work. If your firm specializes in ophthalmic surgery or lacrimal procedures, this code and its recent posting pattern are unlikely to yield relevant procurements.
