UNSPSC 85552911: Excision of left lacrimal gland, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left lacrimal gland, 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 08BW3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552911 Excision of left lacrimal gland, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitation activity shows little alignment with this narrow clinical description. The most-recent opportunities in the source are tagged to this code yet address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency services for youth in custody—none of which correspond to lacrimal gland excision. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are actually tagging health services opportunities.

The source records show issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and boards (Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), with geographic activity spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Solicitation types include RFPs and RFIs with response dates ranging from September through October 2026 and contract values from approximately $750,000 to $8.7 million annually (Collier County pharmacy benefits). Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work being solicited, this code appears to show little relevant recent activity for firms focused on the specific surgical procedure named in the code definition.
