UNSPSC 85553084: Destruction of right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 085X7ZZ

UNSPSC 85553084 Destruction of right lacrimal duct, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure on the lacrimal drainage system — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The six recent state and local solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for public safety retirement benefit determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing for hospital networks. None of these opportunities involve lacrimal duct procedures, destruction via natural or artificial opening, or anything related to the code's stated scope.

The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal health benefits administrators, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation and health systems, and county human resources divisions across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. This geographic and organizational diversity reflects opportunistic tagging rather than a coherent procurement family. State and local governments do not appear to be actively soliciting ophthalmologic or otolaryngologic surgical procedures under this code at present; the mismatch between the code's medical nomenclature and the health administration and staffing services actually being bought suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy entry and the work state and local procurement offices are actually performing.
