This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 089X3ZZ

UNSPSC 85552919 Drainage of right lacrimal duct, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to have little relevance to the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged with this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve lacrimal duct drainage or ophthalmologic surgical procedures. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual work being procured across the available opportunities.

The posting pattern suggests a classification mismatch rather than active procurement demand for the procedure named in the code. State and local issuers posting under this code include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health services), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary staffing pools). Geographic activity appears scattered across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration suggesting a stable or growing market for services actually described by the code number itself. Pursuit of opportunities tagged with this code should be treated with caution until the classification issue is resolved with the issuing bodies.
