UNSPSC 85552642: Replacement of left lacrimal duct with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left lacrimal duct with synthetic 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 08RY0JZ

UNSPSC 85552642 Replacement of left lacrimal duct with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this classification do not align with the procedure itself. Instead, state and local jurisdictions have tagged medical services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing solicitations to this code — activities that fall outside the surgical specialty described by the code's name. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or erroneous application of the UNSPSC taxonomy to these opportunities by the posting agencies.

The six recent opportunities in the dataset span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, covering city retirement systems, county health systems, state transportation agencies, county juvenile detention, and county employee benefits programs. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (75 annual disability medical record summaries and physician examinations, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities actually procure lacrimal duct replacement procedures or related surgical materials, confirming that business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for meaningful state and local medical device or surgical-service contracting purposes.
