UNSPSC 85553031: Replacement of left 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 replacement of left 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 08RY87Z

UNSPSC 85553031 "Replacement of left lacrimal duct with autologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic" is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its procedural medical nomenclature and the state and local contract opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations — independent medical evaluations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — represent administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and occupational health programs rather than the specific ophthalmic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. This suggests either systematic coding misalignment in the source procurement notices or the code's use as a catchall for broader occupational and public-sector health services work.

The issuing bodies are primarily large municipal and regional health systems: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (for disability benefit determinations), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), the City of Long Beach (employee benefits), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (detention healthcare), Collier County (pharmacy benefits), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). The geographic spread spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. The most concrete recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (response due October 7, 2026). The code shows little recent activity aligned with its stated lacrimal duct procedure scope and should be evaluated primarily as a benefits-administration and occupational-health vehicle rather than as a surgical-procedure procurement category.
