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

UNSPSC 85553049 Occlusion of left lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code for a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not match its clinical scope. The opportunities posted against this code represent disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve lacrimal duct procedures or align with the code's stated clinical definition. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the procurement sources or mission-drift in how this code has been applied within state and local systems. The code shows no relevant recent activity for ophthalmic surgery services.

Across the six opportunities identified, issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — a mix of municipal retirement programs, city human resources offices, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and county health systems. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (medical record summary and disability exam coordination; due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara's multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities solicit ophthalmic procedures or services related to lacrimal duct pathology.
