UNSPSC 85581167: Destruction of lower gingiva, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of lower 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 0C560ZZ

UNSPSC 85581167 Destruction of lower gingiva, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific oral surgical procedure, but the five most recent opportunities tagged under it—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—involve no dental or gingival work whatsoever. The opportunities span correctional healthcare administration, health plan management, telemedicine, behavioral health, and emergency medical services. No issuing body has solicited destruction-of-lower-gingiva services in the available record.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (Muscogee County Prison), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California again (Santa Monica Fire Department), but this geographic distribution reflects the misclassification of the code itself rather than a coherent procurement category. The source contains no evidence of state or local governments buying dental surgical procedures under UNSPSC 85581167. Practitioners should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify classification before pursuit.
