UNSPSC 85552641: Replacement of left lacrimal duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left 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 08RY0KZ

UNSPSC 85552641 Replacement of left lacrimal duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification involve general occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical record review, surgical carve-out benefits, and juvenile detention healthcare services—none of which involve lacrimal duct replacement or the specialized surgical pathways the code describes. The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city benefits programs (City of Long Beach), and county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), indicating broad procurement across health benefits administration and occupational medicine rather than surgical procedure coding.

No state or local procurement opportunities in the recent block directly match the code's nominal scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent the closest alignment to clinical medical work, but both focus on examination, evaluation, and record management rather than surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities or that this code experiences minimal genuine activity in state and local contracting. Vendors should verify code assignment during proposal pursuit and clarify scope with issuing bodies before committing resources.
