UNSPSC 85581817: Replacement of lower tooth, single, 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, single, 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 0CRXXK0

UNSPSC 85581817 Replacement of lower tooth, single, with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code, but the source shows no recent state and local contract opportunities directly aligned with dental prosthetic procedures. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern tooth replacement or dental prosthetics. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are tagging health-care-related solicitations under this dental code without regard to its specific scope, or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services that fall outside the intended category definition.

Given the absence of relevant recent activity, there is no meaningful information to report on the issuing-body mix, geographic distribution, or representative dental prosthetic opportunities under this code. Firms pursuing dental supply or prosthodontic contracting should not rely on activity under this code as a signal of current state and local demand in this category.
