UNSPSC 85581818: Replacement of lower tooth, all, with synthetic substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lower tooth, all, with synthetic 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 0CRXXJ2

UNSPSC 85581818 Replacement of lower tooth, all, with synthetic substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which represent dental prosthetics or tooth replacement services. This appears to be a taxonomy misalignment rather than active purchasing under the intended commodity scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no geographic concentration. Because the opportunities do not reflect actual dental prosthetics procurement, this code warrants monitoring for correction or reassignment; current activity under this UNSPSC number does not signal viable pursuit in dental replacement services.
