UNSPSC 85581024: Replacement of upper gingiva with synthetic substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of upper gingiva with synthetic 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 0CR5XJZ

UNSPSC 85581024, Replacement of upper gingiva with synthetic substitute, external approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities in the source. The code nominally describes a specific dental surgical procedure involving synthetic gingival grafting, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code reflect comprehensive healthcare services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve gingival replacement or synthetic oral tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or that this code is being applied to broad healthcare procurement categories in a way that diverges from its intended scope.

The recent opportunities originate from county and local health authorities in Florida, Georgia, and California — the Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services, RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services, RFP due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (Peer Support for Peer Workers, RFP No. 2025-007), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (Medical Director, RFP 455). The code shows minimal relevant activity for vendors positioned in dental or oral surgical services and substantial mismatch between the commodity name and actual procurement activity being tracked under it.
