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 08QW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85552661 Repair left lacrimal gland, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it are purchasing occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's stated procedure description. The mismatch suggests either erroneous coding at the issuing body or a broader interpretation of the code by procurement offices that does not match the UNSPSC taxonomy definition. The issuing bodies span a city pension office (Phoenix), a state transportation department (Washington), a county health system (Santa Clara), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county benefits consortium (Collier County), and a city benefits office (Long Beach), indicating use across multiple government entity types.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), Washington (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), California (Santa Clara Health System and City of Long Beach), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (response 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, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The coding inconsistency limits the utility of this code as a reliable signal for firms pursuing health-care delivery contracts in the state and local market.
