UNSPSC 85552910: Excision of right lacrimal duct, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 08BX3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552910 Excision of right lacrimal duct, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a procedural-code classification misaligned with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve lacrimal duct surgery or any specific surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency healthcare services for detained youth. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity for the procedural service its name describes, suggesting either a data-tagging error in the procurement system or that state and local buying offices have applied the code to a broader category of health services administration and medical staffing that bears no operational connection to the code's nominal scope.

The issuing bodies are dispersed across state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of the Washington State Ferries) solicited occupational medical surveillance; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought disability medical evaluation services; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualified temporary health professional staffing vendors. Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. No recent opportunities under this code align with excision procedures or lacrimal duct surgery. Given the consistent mismatch between the code's definition and the work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a viable pursuit category for vendors offering surgical or procedural services.
