UNSPSC 85681762: Excision of left lacrimal bone, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left lacrimal bone, percutaneous 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 0NBJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85681762 Excision of left lacrimal bone, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local government procurement activity. This code describes a specific surgical procedure — surgical removal of the lacrimal bone via percutaneous technique — which is a clinical intervention outside the scope of state and local institutional purchasing. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect medical services procurement: independent medical evaluation and disability benefit determination (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefit administration and Centers of Excellence networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary ancillary clinical staffing qualification pools (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these opportunities solicit the surgical procedure named in the code, nor do they involve procurement of operative services at the commodity level.

State and local governments do not purchase specific surgical procedures as line-item commodities through UNSPSC-coded solicitations. The tagged opportunities reflect administrative and benefit management services — medical record summary, examination scheduling, network management, claims processing, and staffing coordination — that support benefits delivery or occupational health compliance, not clinical intervention procurement. The code appears to have been assigned in error to one or more of these opportunities by the issuing body's procurement classification system. Firms pursuing state and local medical services business should focus on the underlying opportunity scopes (disability evaluation administration, benefits carve-out management, occupational health surveillance) rather than on this code's nominal surgical definition. No relevant procurement activity emerges from this code when actual scope is prioritized over taxonomy label.
