UNSPSC 85581262: Destruction of upper gingiva, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0C553ZZ

UNSPSC 85581262 Destruction of upper gingiva, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve gingival destruction or percutaneous dental procedures; instead, they span prison medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction. The code's nominal scope—a specific oral surgical procedure—does not match the actual work being solicited in state and local markets today.

The opportunities recorded under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; and San Mateo County, California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California), with geographic concentration in Florida and California. No repeat issuing bodies appear in the recent block. These solicitations carry response dates ranging from April 9, 2026 through October 16, 2025, but none align with dental surgical services or the code's intended commodity scope. Vendors evaluating this code should note the mismatch: the UNSPSC designation does not reflect current state and local buying patterns under this number, and procurement activity appears driven by misclassification rather than genuine demand for gingival destruction procedures.
