UNSPSC 85552723 Drainage of left lacrimal duct, open approach is a Commodity code whose title does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it. The recent opportunities show no procurement related to lacrimal duct drainage or any ophthalmologic surgical procedure; instead, the code has been tagged to solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, specialty center-of-excellence surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual goods or services being bought indicates this code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The geographic spread of the limited recent opportunities spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies include state departments, county governments, and city procurement offices soliciting healthcare administration and occupational medical services. Without alignment between the UNSPSC code label and the procurement activities tagged to it, the code does not serve as a reliable classifier for state and local medical equipment or surgical-supply opportunities in this market.
