UNSPSC 85553055 "Occlusion of right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening" is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with lacrimal duct occlusion procedures or the clinical scope the code implies. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the posting jurisdictions or use of the code as a catch-all within a healthcare procurement taxonomy that does not distinguish clinical service line by procedure type.

State and local procurement activity under this code cannot be characterized at this time, as the recent opportunities do not represent genuine demand for the service the code describes.
