UNSPSC 85553067: Drainage of left lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left 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 089Y7ZZ

UNSPSC 85553067 Drainage of left lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged to this code instead solicit independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with lacrimal duct drainage. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the underlying procurement system or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health services solicitations unrelated to its nominal scope.

State and local governments do solicit medical and health professional services broadly, but those opportunities appear across different UNSPSC codes and families. The recent records show activity from city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county health consortia, and county health systems in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none of these solicitations target surgical ophthalmology services or lacrimal procedures. Bidders pursuing opportunities in occupational health, employee benefits administration, or detention health services should verify coding against the actual scope of work in each RFP or RFQ rather than relying on this code as a reliable filter for relevant opportunities.
