UNSPSC 85681412: Excision of left lacrimal bone, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left lacrimal bone, open approach. 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 0NBJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85681412 Excision of left lacrimal bone, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities recorded under this code cover comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support worker programs, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve lacrimal bone excision or any surgical procedure. The code appears to have been misapplied by the issuing entities to capture healthcare services and medical administration contracts that fall outside the code's surgical classification.

Given the misalignment between the code name and the work actually being solicited, state and local governments do not meaningfully procure lacrimal bone excision services under UNSPSC 85681412. The issuing bodies posting under this code — including the Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — are purchasing healthcare administration, managed care, and workplace health services rather than surgical procedures. The geographic spread spans Florida, Georgia, and California, but the code itself does not represent a cohesive procurement category. A business development professional should verify the correct UNSPSC code(s) applicable to any healthcare or medical services work under consideration, as the lacrimal bone excision code does not provide reliable signals for this market segment.
