UNSPSC 85552909: Excision of left lacrimal duct, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 08BY3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552909 Excision of left lacrimal duct, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The source shows no opportunities for surgical procedures on lacrimal ducts or any clinical procedure matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, health plan surgical carve-outs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve lacrimal duct surgery or related ophthalmologic procedures. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the underlying procurement systems or that the code is being used incorrectly by issuing bodies.

The most recent opportunities originate from a diverse mix of issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal governments (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county commissions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no geographic pattern tied to the code's clinical scope. Without relevant recent opportunities actually soliciting lacrimal duct excision services or related procedures, the code shows little actionable procurement signal for vendors pursuing surgical or clinical procedure work under its stated definition.
