UNSPSC 85581916: Reposition lower tooth with external fixation device, single, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition lower tooth with external fixation device, single, open 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 0CSX050

UNSPSC 85581916 Reposition lower tooth with external fixation device, single, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthodontic or maxillofacial surgical procedure, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care services, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve tooth repositioning or external fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the sourcing system or tag misapplication by posting jurisdictions; the code appears unsuitable for business development professionals evaluating actual state and local healthcare procurement in this category.

Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span Georgia, Florida, and California and include medical services contracts for county correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. The issuing bodies include the Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California). Representative opportunities include the Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services RFP (Columbus Consolidated Government, due May 15, 2026), the Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP (Collier County, due April 9, 2026), and the Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services RFP (Monroe County, due April 16, 2026). None of these solicitations address the procedure named in the code, indicating the tag does not reflect the work actually being purchased under UNSPSC 85581916 in current state and local procurement.
