About UNSPSC 85552912

UNSPSC 85552912 Excision of right lacrimal gland, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a specific surgical procedure; state and local solicitations posted under this code actually procure occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Center of Excellence networks, temporary clinical staffing pools, and inpatient emergency medical care for detained youth. The mismatch between the nominal code scope and the actual work being bought suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to health services and administrative contracting that falls outside procedural surgery taxonomy. No recent opportunities soliciting lacrimal gland excision or related ophthalmologic procedures appear in the source.

No state and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 85552912 directly matches the code's stated scope. Issuing bodies include Arizona city retirement boards, California municipalities, Washington state transportation agencies, county health systems, juvenile probation departments, and county benefits consortia — all pursuing medical administration, occupational surveillance, or health network services rather than surgical procedures. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas based on the posted opportunities, though none are acquisition of lacrimal surgery. When evaluating this code for business development, confirm with the procuring jurisdiction that the UNSPSC assignment is intentional and that the actual deliverable aligns with your service line, as the current tagging appears to reflect administrative or classification error rather than genuine procurement demand for the procedure named.
