UNSPSC 85552825: Resection of left lacrimal duct, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left lacrimal duct, percutaneous 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 08TY3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552825 Resection of left lacrimal duct, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are purchasing under this classification. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not include lacrimal duct procedures or surgical interventions of any kind; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and examination coordination, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The code's taxonomy name describes a specific ophthalmologic surgical procedure, yet the actual procurement activity reflects administrative health services, medical staffing platforms, and benefit program management that fall outside the procedural scope the code nominally represents. This suggests either systematic miscoding of opportunities by issuing bodies or that the code itself has been repurposed in state and local procurement workflows to encompass a broader medical services category than its clinical name implies.

State and local issuing bodies using this code include county human resources and health benefit programs (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), county juvenile and public safety pension boards (Phoenix Retirement Office, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees ($8.7 million historical annual spending, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a multiple-award temporary health professional staffing vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical and support categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows active procurement volume across mid-sized and large local jurisdictions but receives no clear relevance signal for bidders with expertise in lacrimal duct resection or related surgical procedures.
