UNSPSC 85553017: Supplement right lacrimal duct with autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right lacrimal duct with autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 08UX87Z

UNSPSC 85553017 Supplement right lacrimal duct with autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the eye's tear-drainage system. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with ophthalmic surgical services; instead, they reflect a broad mix of occupational health, employee benefits administration, pharmacy management, and medical staffing services unrelated to lacrimal-duct augmentation. The code appears to carry little relevant recent procurement activity matching its nominal scope.

The opportunities reflect work actually being bought by a diverse issuing-body base: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health-professional staffing). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (response due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health-professional staffing (response due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure definition and the actual procurement activity suggests either a systematic tagging error across multiple jurisdictions or that the code is being misapplied at the source level.
