UNSPSC 85552709: Extirpation of matter from left lacrimal gland, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left lacrimal gland, 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 08CW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85552709 Extirpation of matter from left lacrimal gland, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not align with the code's clinical scope. The opportunities posted from August through October 2026 instead reflect procurement for occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for public employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which map to the lacrimal gland procedure named in the code.

This classification mismatch suggests either a data entry error in the procurement systems or a systematic misapplication of the code by issuing bodies. The actual opportunities span diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Health Care Consortium, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Without evidence that state and local governments are actually procuring extirpation of matter from left lacrimal gland services, this code warrants close attention only if your firm is actively selling occupational health examinations, disability medical evaluations, or health plan management services and suspects systematic mislabeling in procurement systems where you pursue work.
