UNSPSC 85552809 Supplement left lacrimal duct with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a highly specific surgical procedure — tissue supplementation of a tear duct via a percutaneous approach — but the recent opportunities tagged under this code concern occupational and disability medical surveillance, pension benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve lacrimal duct surgery or tissue-substitute procedures. The recent opportunities span medical evaluation services, benefits administration, occupational health compliance, and health system staffing — procurement categories that fall outside the orthopedic and ophthalmologic scope implied by the code's name.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city pension boards (Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county procurement services (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 state ferry locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code exhibits poor taxonomic fit with the opportunities listed, suggesting either a data-entry error in the source material or a misalignment between the code's clinical scope and the jurisdictions' categorization practices.
