This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left lacrimal duct with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic.

UNSPSC 85553010, Supplement left lacrimal duct with synthetic substitute via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code with no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — lacrimal duct augmentation using synthetic material — yet state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not seek surgical supplies, implants, or procedure-specific devices. Instead, recent opportunities under the code are for independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-outs for health plans, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with lacrimal duct supplementation or ophthalmologic surgical implants. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for medical services unrelated to the commodity's actual scope.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office disability evaluations, RFP), California (Long Beach surgical carve-out and Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing), Washington State (ferries occupational surveillance), Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), with no dominant geographic concentration and no repeat-buyer pattern. Because the solicitations do not reflect the code's nominal scope, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and verify coding against actual category definitions before pursuing work tagged under 85553010.
