UNSPSC 85553042: Repair left lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening. 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 08QY7ZZ

UNSPSC 85553042 Repair left lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The source records six recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, but none target lacrimal duct repair services or related ophthalmologic surgical interventions. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), specialty and emergency healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories (Santa Clara County). The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding in the issuing offices' procurement systems or that the taxonomy tag does not reflect the work actually being requested.

The recent opportunities themselves span diverse issuing bodies—state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems—and geographic regions including Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. None of the solicitations directly solicit for ophthalmologic services, surgical procedures, or lacrimal duct repair. Pursuing this code for lacrimal duct repair contracting would require either direct outreach to hospital procurement offices, ambulatory surgical centers, and health systems outside the formal UNSPSC-tagged solicitation stream, or clarification from state and local procurement offices on the actual intended use of this code designation. The code as currently tagged offers no actionable market signal for this service line.
