This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from upper gingiva, open 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 0CC50ZZ

UNSPSC 85581148 Extirpation of matter from upper gingiva, open approach is a Commodity code that bears little relation to the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code address comprehensive healthcare services for correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific oral surgical procedure. State and local procurement offices appear to be applying this code inconsistently or as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare service delivery rather than for the discrete dental-surgical intervention the code name describes.

The recent opportunities reflect healthcare administration and service contracting across multiple issuing bodies: the Columbus Consolidated Government (correctional medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care), San Mateo County Health (behavioral health peer support), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (medical direction). Geographic spread spans Georgia, Florida (two opportunities), California, and scattered other jurisdictions. Representative solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (RFP, proposals due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million (RFP, closed April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (RFP, proposals due April 16, 2026). The code shows active procurement volume but the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited signals either systematic tagging error or a database classification problem that would require clarification before pursuing opportunities under this code.
