UNSPSC 85581933: Replacement of upper tooth, all, with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of upper tooth, all, with nonautologous 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 0CRW0K2

UNSPSC 85581933 Replacement of upper tooth, all, with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific dental surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency medical services for detained youth, surgical benefit carve-outs, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve dental prosthetics or tooth replacement. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of health-services solicitations or a data integrity issue in how opportunities are being tagged to this Commodity code.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No recent opportunity directly addresses the dental implant or tooth replacement services the code nominally describes. Unless procurement professionals are pursuing this code specifically for general health-service delivery rather than dental surgery, the code shows no relevant recent activity and warrants close scrutiny before allocating business development resources.
