UNSPSC 85581922: Reposition upper tooth with external fixation device, single, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition upper 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 0CSW050

UNSPSC 85581922 Reposition upper tooth with external fixation device, single, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local government procurement based on recent solicitation activity. The code nominally describes a specific dental surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with dental prosthetics or orthodontic repositioning work. Instead, the tagged opportunities span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve tooth repositioning or dental surgical devices.

The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-quality issue in how opportunities are tagged at the state or local level or that this code is not actively used for meaningful procurement in state and local markets. No substantive contract opportunities for dental surgical procedures, orthodontic repositioning, or related external fixation devices appear in the recent activity block. Activity remains concentrated in healthcare service contracting — medical services for correctional facilities, pharmacy administration, virtual care delivery, behavioral health support, and EMS medical oversight — across Florida, Georgia, and California jurisdictions, but none of these opportunities involve the dental or orthodontic work the commodity code describes.
