UNSPSC 85581056: Drainage of lower gingiva with drainage device, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of lower gingiva with drainage device, 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 0C96X0Z

UNSPSC 85581056 Drainage of lower gingiva with drainage device, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dental or oral surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show a significant mismatch: the five solicitations posted between February and April 2026 include comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail (Muscogee County, Georgia), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services for county members (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County, California), and a medical director contract for a fire department (Santa Monica, California). None of these opportunities relate to gingival drainage or oral surgical procedures. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of county departments, county boards of commissioners, and municipal agencies across multiple states, but their solicitations reflect general healthcare administration, behavioral health services, and emergency services management rather than dental or periodontology services. Without state and local opportunities actually soliciting the procedure or device this code nominally describes, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for practical procurement purposes.
