UNSPSC 85581932: Replacement of lower tooth, single, with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lower tooth, single, with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0CRX070

UNSPSC 85581932 Replacement of lower tooth, single, with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific dental surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve dental procedures or autologous tooth replacement. This mismatch indicates either a classification error in the underlying procurement data or a systematic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the work being transacted.

The geographic and issuing-body spread of recent opportunities tagged under this code spans multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees across 14 Washington State locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations in Arizona), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out administration in California), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services in Texas), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing in California), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management in Florida). Given the lack of substantive alignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought, this code shows little relevant procurement activity and warrants exclusion from focused pursuit strategies pending clarification of the classification schema.
