UNSPSC 85552702: Occlusion of left lacrimal duct with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left lacrimal duct with intraluminal device, 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 08LY0DZ

UNSPSC 85552702 Occlusion of left lacrimal duct with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code with a mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure on the lacrimal system — and the recent state and local opportunities actually tagged under it. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve lacrimal duct procedures or even ophthalmologic surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical focus, suggesting either a classification error in the procurement system or a persistent mismatch between the taxonomy assignment and actual purchasing intent.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), large city HR departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County), indicating a diverse administrative and geographic footprint. Recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with response dates spanning September through October 2026. Without clear alignment between the code's clinical definition and the broad administrative, occupational health, and benefits-management work actually being solicited, vendors should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged under this Commodity — the classification appears unreliable for targeting relevant state and local medical device or procedural contracts.
