UNSPSC 85581812: Reposition upper tooth, multiple, with external fixation device, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition upper tooth, multiple, with external fixation device, external approach.

UNSPSC 85581812 Reposition upper tooth, multiple, with external fixation device, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect dental or orthodontic surgical services; instead, they span inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit administration for county employees, virtual primary care and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and medical direction for fire department emergency medical services. The code's abstract scope — surgical repositioning of multiple upper teeth using external fixation — does not match what state and local buyers are actually requesting. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source database or that the code is not being used for its intended commodity scope in active procurement.

State and local issuing bodies named in the recent opportunities include county boards of commissioners (Collier County, Florida and Monroe County, Florida), county health and behavioral health departments (San Mateo County Health, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), city procurement divisions (Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department). The geographic spread spans Florida, Georgia, and California. No recent opportunities in the block represent actual demand for orthodontic or dental surgical services under this code. If your firm pursues business under UNSPSC 85581812, verify with issuing bodies whether they intend to use this code for dental or orthodontic surgical procedures, as the current activity record does not support that interpretation.
