This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right lacrimal bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85682149 Extirpation of matter from right lacrimal bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the lacrimal bone; however, recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve lacrimal surgery or related otolaryngology work. Instead, state and local buyers have tagged independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and pediatric detention-facility medical services under this code—a portfolio indicating either systematic miscoding or a data-integrity issue in the underlying procurement system. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited is too broad to reconcile.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the disconnect between code name and procurement substance, this code warrants investigation for correction before business development investment.
