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 08QX0ZZ

UNSPSC 85552660 Repair right lacrimal duct, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that narrow scope. Instead, the solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody. The code does not appear to be used consistently or accurately by state and local procurement offices; the opportunities posted under it are predominantly healthcare administration, benefits management, and staffing services rather than a specific surgical repair procedure. State and local issuers using this code include county governments, city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments.

Recent activity appears across multiple states with no single geographic concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSF) posted an occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, seeking baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations and requiring board certification in occupational medicine. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) managing approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026) targeting Centers of Excellence networks for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees. The County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026), accepting proposals with no guaranteed volume. Given the misalignment between the code's surgical description and the healthcare administration work actually being solicited, firms pursuing this code should treat it as a data-quality issue and focus on the specific healthcare services and staffing categories named in actual opportunities rather than the code definition itself.
