UNSPSC 85581895: Destruction of upper tooth, single, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of upper tooth, single, 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 0C5WXZ0

UNSPSC 85581895 Destruction of upper tooth, single, external approach is a Commodity code representing a specific dental surgical procedure. The recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with the code's narrow clinical definition. The solicitations in the data set address comprehensive healthcare delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which center on tooth extraction or dental surgery as a primary scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source records or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for medical and healthcare procurement that does not fit established dentistry or surgical procedure classifications. No recent solicitations actually procure tooth extraction services or related dental surgical supplies and equipment under this code.

Activity appears limited to general healthcare administration, emergency services support, and behavioral health contracting across Florida, Georgia, and California counties. The Columbus Consolidated Government issued an RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026); Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026); Monroe County issued an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County issued an RFP for peer support services for peer workers (due July 2, 2025); and Santa Monica Fire Department issued an RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). No issuing body has solicited dental services, tooth extraction, or oral surgery under this code in the available dataset, and the code's clinical specificity does not match the breadth of medical administration work actually being procured. This code warrants skipping unless your firm operates in dental procurement separate from the general healthcare administration shown here.
