UNSPSC 85553035: Replacement of right 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 right 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 08RX8KZ

UNSPSC 85553035 Replacement of right lacrimal duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations address lacrimal duct replacement or related surgical implant services. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting a mix of health system procurement, employee benefit administration, and occupational health program management rather than surgical procedure specification or implant supply.

The recent opportunities show no geographic or issuing-body concentration around the nominal code scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers with proposals due October 9, 2026 via RFP. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities, and business development professionals should treat this code as showing no actionable recent activity in lacrimal duct replacement, related surgical implants, or related supply categories.
