UNSPSC 85552872: Occlusion of left lacrimal duct with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left lacrimal duct with intraluminal device, 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 08LY3DZ

UNSPSC 85552872 Occlusion of left lacrimal duct with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local contract activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure classification. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and inpatient hospital services—none of which involve lacrimal duct procedures or related ophthalmologic interventions. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code has been used as a catch-all placeholder for medical service solicitations without regard to its specificity as a procedure code.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (County of Santa Clara, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county boards (Collier County), and county human resources divisions, with recent activity spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Without substantive procurement volume or clear market demand for lacrimal duct occlusion services in the state and local sector, pursuit under this code is not recommended pending clarification of the actual work state and local buyers intend to contract for under this classification.
