UNSPSC 85552643: Replacement of left lacrimal duct with autologous 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 autologous 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 08RY07Z

UNSPSC 85552643, Replacement of left lacrimal duct with autologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to lacrimal duct replacement or surgical tissue substitution procedures. Instead, the solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve the specific surgical or tissue-replacement work the code nominally describes.

The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement aligned with its stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how the opportunities were tagged or a code that sees minimal use in the public-sector market for its intended purpose.
