UNSPSC 85552755: Bypass right lacrimal duct to nasal cavity with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right lacrimal duct to nasal cavity with nonautologous tissue 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 081X0K3

UNSPSC 85552755 Bypass right lacrimal duct to nasal cavity with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity documented in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for lacrimal duct repair using synthetic material, but the most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which directly relate to lacrimal duct surgery or the specific procedure the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code is not actively used for discrete state and local purchases. No recent opportunities show procurement of lacrimal duct surgery services or related surgical supplies and materials. Firms evaluating this code should verify current tagging practices with issuing procurement offices before allocating business development resources to pursue contracts under UNSPSC 85552755.
