This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left lacrimal duct to nasal cavity with synthetic substitute, 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 081Y0J3

UNSPSC 85552753 Bypass left lacrimal duct to nasal cavity with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code are medical services and healthcare staffing — occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve lacrimal duct bypass procedures or surgical implants. The code appears to have been applied to general healthcare procurement activity rather than the specific surgical procedure its name describes, creating a mismatch between the taxonomy and actual scope of work.

Recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out for employee health plans, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 locations, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The recency and diversity of postings suggest that this code is capturing a broad range of healthcare administration and staffing work rather than surgical procedures, signaling potential misclassification in state and local procurement systems.
