Teleport shows that it has a range of 10ft and uses the following language:
This spell instantly transports you and up to eight willing creatures
of your choice that you can see within range, or a single object that
you can see within range, to a destination you select. If you target
an object, it must be able to fit entirely inside a 10-foot cube, and
it can’t be held or carried by an unwilling creature.
I want to have a non-present NPC who is using the scry spell to spy on the Players location to use the Teleport spell on an object in the room the Players are in. Is this possible as long as the object is within 10ft of the sensor created by the scry spell or is it not possible?
TLDR; can I cast the teleport spell through the sensor created with the scry spell, using the sensor’s location as the base for target range?

Scrying does not expand spell ranges
The two restrictions, that the target must be within range and that you must be able to see it are separate and both must be satisfied. "See within range" is not a requirement on the clarity with which you see them and thus does not translate to "see as if you were within range".
So you will not be able to fetch an item from a far away location like this. The problem is further compounded by the restriction that you must have a clear path to anything you target (PHB 204).
So scrying will not help in teleporting an item away, but it would help in targeting the spell if you would teleport something to the place under observation (making familiarity "very familiar").
