UNSPSC 85552716: Excision of right lacrimal duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 08BX0ZZ

UNSPSC 85552716 Excision of right lacrimal duct, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this taxonomy designation. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it center on occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit administration, surgical care networks, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve lacrimal duct excision or align with the code's procedural scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in source records or a systematic misclassification of health services contracts within this jurisdiction's procurement tagging system.

Activity under this code includes issuing bodies spanning county health departments, municipal pension boards, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent disability medical evaluation services for public safety pension applicants due October 16, 2026 under a $750,000 five-year contract; and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. No recent opportunities reflect the code's nominal lacrimal duct surgery scope, and the code shows little decision-relevant current activity for vendors pursuing surgical procedure line items.
