UNSPSC 85122001: Dentist services

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a dentist

UNSPSC 85122001 Dentist services is a Commodity code capturing direct dental care delivery that state and local governments purchase across multiple institutional and public-health settings. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying general dentistry, oral surgery, dental anesthesia, and restorative services for vulnerable populations in state-supported living centers, county jails, detention facilities, school districts, and public hospitals. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission accounts for the majority of recent activity, issuing nine separate IFBs for dental anesthesia, oral surgery, and comprehensive dental services across its network of state supported living centers (Austin, San Angelo, Corpus Christi, Abilene, El Paso) and seeking qualified DDS/DMD practitioners, often with advanced anesthesia permits and five-plus years of experience. Beyond Texas, the City of Atlanta Department of Corrections, Williamson County (Texas), the City of Richmond (Georgia), Granite School District (Utah), and the County of San Mateo (California) have posted opportunities for jail inmate dental services, school-based student oral health programs, and specialty prosthetics fabrication. The code reflects purchasing by state departments, county correctional facilities, municipalities, school districts, and hospital systems rather than a concentrated buyer segment.

Geographic concentration centers heavily on Texas, where HHSC's multiple solicitations span HHS Regions 7, 9, and additional service areas (Austin, San Angelo, Corpus Christi, Abilene, El Paso) with response dates clustering between late June and early August 2026. Activity also appears in Georgia (Atlanta, Richmond County), Utah (Granite School District), California (San Mateo County, Valencia College), Florida (Valencia College), and Michigan (City of Detroit). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's dental anesthesia solicitations for San Angelo State Supported Living Center (HHS0017648, IFB due July 30, 2026) and Austin State Supported Living Center (HHS0017609, IFB due July 27, 2026), both seeking DDS/DMD providers with Level 3 or Level 4 anesthesia permits and three to five years of relevant experience; the City of Atlanta Department of Corrections' on-call inmate dental services (PE66062NONST2026000000415 and PE66062NONST2026000000416, prequalification due June 30, 2026), requiring Georgia-licensed dentists with ten years general practice and five years correctional dentistry experience; and Granite School District's student dental services RFP (DB26003RFP, due May 29, 2026), seeking on-site preventive and limited restorative care for 26 Title I schools with no cost to the district and revenue derived from insurance billing and Medicaid reimbursement.
