UNSPSC 85581022: Replacement of lower gingiva with autologous tissue substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lower gingiva with autologous tissue substitute, external 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 0CR6X7Z

UNSPSC 85581022 Replacement of lower gingiva with autologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this tag. The recent opportunities show no procurement activity related to oral surgical procedures or tissue replacement; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve periodontal or gingival surgery. The code's nominal scope (a specific oral surgical procedure) diverges materially from the purchasing patterns tagged to it, suggesting either a classification error in the source data or use of the code as a generic catch-all for medical services procurement.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employers (City of Long Beach). Geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 for examinations across 14 ferry locations; Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP for approximately 2,400 covered employees and 4,800 members; and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications. The code shows little relevant recent activity and should not be relied upon to track opportunities in oral surgical or periodontal services.
