UNSPSC 85581826: Replacement of upper 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 upper 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 0CRWXK0

UNSPSC 85581826 Replacement of upper tooth, single, with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific dental prosthetic procedure, yet the most recent state and local opportunities posted against it reflect administrative medical services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and clinical staffing — none of which align with dental restorative work. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across ferry system locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations target dental implants or tooth replacement services.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations posted against it suggests either miscoding at the source or that this Commodity code does not reliably capture state and local dental implant procurement. Issuers are distributed across state health departments, county human resources and public health divisions, and municipal retirement offices — jurisdictions that typically manage employee benefits, occupational health programs, and detention health care rather than specific dental procedures. No geographic concentration appears in the opportunities; activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify coding accuracy with prospective buyers before investing pursuit effort, as the recent-opportunity set does not support a clear procurement lane for dental prosthetics.
