UNSPSC 85553007: Restriction of right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening. 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 08VX7ZZ

UNSPSC 85553007 Restriction of right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 tagged to this code procure occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which align with lacrimal duct restriction procedures. The mismatch between the code's anatomical scope and the actual work being purchased suggests either a systematic coding error in the state and local procurement systems or incidental misclassification by individual issuing bodies.

The geographic and issuing-body spread across the six opportunities — the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — reflects routine municipal, county, and state health administration and benefits procurement rather than surgical specialization. Without opportunities that actually reflect the code's nominal scope, this code does not present a clear procurement signal for vendors focused on lacrimal or ophthalmic surgical services.
