UNSPSC 85122004: Oral surgeon services

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be an oral surgeon

UNSPSC 85122004 Oral surgeon services, a Commodity code, encompasses anesthesia support and oral/maxillofacial surgery services delivered to state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and public health systems. Recent state and local procurement under this code reflects two distinct service streams: dental anesthesia (including monitored anesthesia care, conscious sedation, and total intravenous anesthesia) and comprehensive oral surgery (extractions, implant placement, biopsies, alveolectomy, and trauma care). Bidders must hold Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine licensure with state board certification in dental anesthesia at Level 3 or Level 4, typically requiring three to five years of relevant experience, completion of anesthesia residency, and maintenance of professional liability insurance with $1 million per occurrence minimums. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is the standout repeat buyer, issuing nine separate solicitations since early July 2026 for services across state-supported living centers in San Angelo, Austin, Abilene, Corpus Christi, and El Paso, alongside the California Department of Veterans Affairs and city correctional authorities. Services are uniformly provided Monday through Friday during daytime hours (typically 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) with four-hour response requirements for routine requests and one-hour emergency response.

Texas dominates recent activity, with the HHSC sourcing anesthesia and oral surgery services across multiple regional facilities under firm fixed-price contracts running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 or longer, many with optional one-year extensions. Representative recent solicitations include HHS0017648 (Texas HHS, Dental Anesthesia services for San Angelo State Supported Living Center, IFB, due July 30, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time, pricing at firm fixed rates per 15-minute increment with trip fees), HHS0017574 (Texas HHS, Dental and Oral Surgery Services for Abilene State Supported Living Center, IFB, due July 28, 2026), and HHS0017561 (Texas HHS, On-site Total Intravenous Anesthesia at Austin State Supported Living Center, IFB, due July 8, 2026). California and Georgia represent secondary geographic pockets—the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) solicited oral surgery services at Redding (IFB 26RS0002, due February 13, 2026), and the City of Atlanta Department of Corrections issued prequalification solicitations for on-call inmate dental services (PE66062NONST2026000000415 and PE66062NONST2026000000416, prequalification due June 30, 2026). Williamson County, Texas, and Richmond County, Georgia, also solicited jail inmate dental and inmate medical services that include dental components. Pricing is submitted on fixed-price basis sheets covering labor, equipment, materials, supplies, and travel; historical spending ranges from $40,000 to $99,999 annually across individual facilities, though the source does not guarantee volume. All contracts require comprehensive insurance including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, professional liability, and umbrella coverage; three verifiable references for similar work within the preceding three to five years; and background checks with E-Verify employment verification compliance.
