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

UNSPSC 85553026 Reposition left lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not align with this clinical scope and instead represent administrative and occupational health services. The Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) seeks disability medical record summary preparation and coordination of independent medical and psychiatric examinations for public safety pension applicants, with examining physicians required to hold Arizona licensure and five years' experience in disability evaluations. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) requires baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, performed by or under supervision of a physician board-certified in occupational medicine. The Long Beach Parks and Recreation Department's proposal for surgical benefit carve-out services (due October 7, 2026) addresses Centers of Excellence networks for elective procedures including orthopedic and spine care, distinct from the code's lacrimal duct procedure designation. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the administrative, occupational health, and benefits-management work actually being solicited under it at the state and local level.

Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county human resources divisions. Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida across the recent postings. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated lacrimal duct surgical procedure scope; the opportunities posted are instead administrative health services, occupational surveillance, and employee benefit carve-outs. Unless the tagging reflects a jurisdiction's use of this code as a catch-all for health-care-related services irrespective of clinical specificity, the code does not appear to drive procurement aligned with its definition.
