UNSPSC 85552718: Excision of right lacrimal gland, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 08BV0ZZ

UNSPSC 85552718 Excision of right lacrimal gland, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure—bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code reflect instead healthcare administration, medical surveillance, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing services, none of which align with surgical procedure procurement. The code shows no active state or local solicitations for the procedure it nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's abstract taxonomy entry and actual purchasing activity indicates that this code is either misapplied in the state and local opportunities database or captures administrative and management services incidentally tagged with a clinical procedure code. State and local governments do not actively solicit for specific surgical procedures through UNSPSC procurement channels; instead, they contract for occupational health examinations (Washington State Ferries, August 2026), independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix, October 2026), surgical care networks and Centers of Excellence programs (City of Long Beach, October 2026), and temporary clinical staffing across specialty ancillary categories (County of Santa Clara Health System, October 2026). Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for procurement purposes and monitor instead the Family or Class codes that encompass occupational medicine, disability evaluation services, and health plan administration.
