This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left lacrimal duct, 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 08SY8ZZ

UNSPSC 85553025 Reposition left lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the lacrimal duct, but the six recent opportunities posted under it span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for youth in custody—none of which align with the code's stated scope of lacrimal duct repositioning. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the jurisdictional level or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for medical services procurement when more specific medical-services or health-plan codes are unavailable or misapplied by procurement staff.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), multiple counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems, reflecting typical state and local health-benefits and occupational-health spending. Recent activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with responses due October 16, 2026 and a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical and medical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing (multiple categories excluding nursing and physicians) due October 7, 2026. Business development professionals should treat this code with caution—the nominal scope does not reflect current procurement activity, and any pursuit should begin with direct contact to confirm that a specific opportunity is appropriately tagged to this code rather than miscoded.
