UNSPSC 85581836: Repair of lower tooth, all, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair of lower tooth, all, 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 0CQXXZ2

UNSPSC 85581836 Repair of lower tooth, all, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — dental repair procedures — does not align with the six recent opportunities posted under this classification. Those solicitations span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). None of these services involve dental work or tooth repair. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for diverse medical services outside its intended scope.

The recent-opportunity data does not support pursuit under this code. State and local procurement professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC classification appropriate to their service lines — dental procedures, oral surgery, occupational health screening, medical benefits administration, or clinical staffing — before assessing market opportunity or competitive positioning in these categories.
