UNSPSC 85553029: Replacement of left lacrimal duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left lacrimal duct with nonautologous 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 08RY8KZ

UNSPSC 85553029, Replacement of left lacrimal duct with nonautologous tissue substitute via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on the lacrimal duct system, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve lacrimal duct replacement or the specific endoscopic procedure the code names. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement system or use of this code as a placeholder for broader medical services that do not align with its stated scope.

State and local procurement systems occasionally tag opportunities with UNSPSC codes that do not match the work being bought, particularly when health systems or counties lack specialized codes for administrative or outsourced clinical services. The recent opportunities reflect demand for occupational health programs, benefit administration, temporary staffing, and specialty care networks — all of which operate at the health-system or benefits-management level rather than at the procedure-specific commodity level. Absent evidence that state and local governments are actively procuring lacrimal duct replacement procedures as a line item, this code does not represent actionable commercial opportunity in the state and local market as of October 2026.
