UNSPSC 85552644 Replacement of right lacrimal duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recently posted state and local opportunities tagged to it involve independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical center networks—none of which align with lacrimal duct replacement surgery or related surgical implants. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities appearing under it suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these solicitations or that state and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code as a catch-all placeholder for broader medical and health services outside its intended definition.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including municipal retirement boards (Phoenix), cities (Long Beach), state departments of transportation (Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners offices (Collier County). No pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated purchasing activity appears under this code. Given the systematic misalignment between the code descriptor and the actual solicitations, firms pursuing state and local medical device, implant, or surgical-procedure-specific work should verify the correct UNSPSC coding before investing in pursuit strategy.
