UNSPSC 85553005 Restriction of right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that reflects a misalignment between the abstract medical procedure classification and the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this tag. Recent opportunities posted under this code show no lacrimal duct restriction procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, county health systems and pension boards, cities, and special health districts. The scope of work currently being solicited reflects administrative and clinical health services delivery rather than a specific surgical procedure: occupational health examinations, medical record review and summarization, pharmacy claims processing, Center of Excellence network management, and clinical staffing across specialty categories including radiology, orthopedics, cardiology, and surgical services.

Geographic spread spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries occupational surveillance), California (City of Long Beach surgical carve-out and Santa Clara County temporary staffing), Arizona (City of Phoenix disability pension medical evaluations), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals with a response date of October 9, 2026 (RFP 20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical evaluation services and record summarization, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RTMRFP26001); and the Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million, originally due April 9, 2026 (RFP 25-8414). The code assignment to these diverse health services does not reflect the nominal procedure classification and appears to stem from broad administrative health-services tagging rather than accurate commodity specification.
