UNSPSC 85581242: Extirpation of matter from upper gingiva, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from upper gingiva, percutaneous 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 0CC53ZZ

UNSPSC 85581242 Extirpation of matter from upper gingiva, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope. State and local procurement opportunities tagged with this code do not reflect dental or gingival surgical procedures. Instead, the recent solicitations tagged here—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—fall across occupational health, municipal benefits administration, and clinical workforce management. The code's nominal dental-surgery description does not align with the work governments are actually buying under this tag. A business development firm evaluating this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are systematically mislabeling medical-services opportunities under a dental-procedure code, or whether the code itself has been deprecated or repurposed in practice.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety pensions, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southwest, with activity in Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies and county/city health systems or human resources departments. Given the mismatch between the code's dental-procedure title and the medical-administration and occupational-health work actually being solicited, proceed with caution and confirm with the relevant procurement offices whether this code continues to carry relevant opportunities.
