UNSPSC 85553064: Excision of right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 08BX7ZZ

UNSPSC 85553064 Excision of right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent procurement activity from state and local government bodies. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities tagged under this code—spanning independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no relation to lacrimal duct excision or any other surgical procedure code should address. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a consistent tagging error in the procurement database or that the code has been repurposed in ways that break its clinical meaning.

State and local procurement activity under this code as currently tagged spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including municipal benefits offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation departments. Because the tagged opportunities do not reflect the code's stated surgical scope, evaluating this code for business development purposes requires clarification from the procurement source on whether the tagging reflects operational intent or database error.
