UNSPSC 85552901: Extirpation of matter from left lacrimal duct, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 08CY3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552901, Extirpation of matter from left lacrimal duct, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code — independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are unrelated to lacrimal duct procedures and reflect a fundamental mismatch between the code classification and the work actually being solicited by state and local buyers. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, county commissioners, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation systems, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none of their scope statements describe ophthalmic or lacrimal interventions.

This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the procurement bodies posting these opportunities or a data classification error upstream. The code itself does not report decision-relevant signals for ophthalmic surgical services or lacrimal procedures in the state and local market. Firms pursuing ophthalmic or outpatient surgical services should verify whether opportunities are correctly tagged before investing in pursuit strategy.
