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

UNSPSC 85553041 Repair left lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure (endoscopic repair of the left lacrimal duct), but the most recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect this clinical service line. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve lacrimal duct repair or related ophthalmologic surgical services. This mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices have applied this code to a broader range of healthcare administrative and staffing services that do not align with its technical definition.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation services for public safety pensions, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical center-of-excellence carve-out for employee health plans, due October 7, 2026), Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing across ancillary categories, due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, originally posted in April 2026). Without concrete recent activity directly related to lacrimal duct repair or comparable ophthalmologic surgical procedures under this code, pursuit is not recommended; the code appears to be used inconsistently or incorrectly for medical administration and staffing services that fall outside its defined scope.
