UNSPSC 85552701: Occlusion of left lacrimal duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left lacrimal duct, 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 08LY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85552701 Occlusion of left lacrimal duct, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The code shows little relevant procurement activity; the opportunities posted under this code in the past two months instead cover occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services constitutes lacrimal duct occlusion surgery or related ophthalmic work.

The mismatch suggests either a categorical coding error in the source data or an overly broad application of this Commodity code to general medical and health services procurement by state and local bodies. Buyers include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries; City of Phoenix Retirement Office; City of Long Beach; Collier County Board of County Commissioners; County of Santa Clara Health System; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). If pursuing opportunities under this code, verify the actual scope of work against the RFP or RFQ text before investing in proposal development, as the code label and posted opportunities currently diverge significantly.
