UNSPSC 85553053: Occlusion of right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of 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 08LX8ZZ

UNSPSC 85553053 Occlusion of right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the state and local opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities show no procurement activity for lacrimal duct procedures or ophthalmologic surgical services; instead, they reflect a broader classification mismatch in which the code has been applied to occupational health surveillance, pension and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated scope.

The six recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—and span occupational health programs, public employee benefit administration, pharmacy benefits, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these solicitations involve lacrimal duct occlusion procedures or endoscopic ENT services. Bidders pursuing this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing agency before investing in proposal development, as the current tagging appears to reflect a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error rather than genuine procurement demand under the code's stated commodity scope.
