UNSPSC 85581815: Replacement of lower tooth, all, with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lower tooth, all, with nonautologous tissue substitute, external 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 0CRXXK2

UNSPSC 85581815 Replacement of lower tooth, all, with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific dental prosthetic procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it concern occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve dental procedures or tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement databases have applied this code incorrectly to health services solicitations that fall outside its nominal scope.

No state and local contract opportunities in the source reflect actual procurement activity for tooth replacement services or related dental prosthetics. The issuing bodies represented in the tagged opportunities—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are soliciting medical administration, occupational health, pharmacy management, and temporary staffing services rather than dental procedures. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but none of these opportunities are decision-relevant to vendors pursuing dental prosthetic work under this code.
