This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right lacrimal duct, 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 08NX8ZZ

UNSPSC 85553047 Release right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring. The code's nominal scope—a specific ophthalmologic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification, which cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension eligibility, surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch suggests this code is either misapplied by the sourcing jurisdictions or has been repurposed for administrative classification purposes unrelated to its clinical title. No representative procurement activity exists under the code's stated medical procedure scope.

The geographic and issuing-body spread across the opportunities posted to this code spans multiple state and local jurisdictions—Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County)—but none of the work being solicited involves lacrimal duct procedures or related ophthalmologic interventions. Until the code's usage is corrected or clarified at the source, this classification provides no actionable signal for business development targeting ophthalmologic surgical services or related medical devices under state and local procurement.
