UNSPSC 85581936: Replacement of upper tooth, all, with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of upper tooth, all, with synthetic 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 0CRW0J2

UNSPSC 85581936 Replacement of upper tooth, all, with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity-level code nominally describing a specific dental prosthetic procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with dental services. The opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve dental prosthetics or oral surgery. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), indicating broad cross-sector government healthcare administration and employee benefits procurement rather than procurement of dental supplies or services.

Recent opportunities surface no genuine alignment between the code's stated scope and what state and local governments are actually buying. The Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026) is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is requesting independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations; the City of Long Beach (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is seeking surgical procedure carve-out benefit management; and Collier County (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) is procuring pharmacy benefit management. This code shows material recent posting activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the opportunities are systematically mislabeled and do not represent genuine procurement under the dental prosthetics commodity. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for dental products or services procurement and investigate alternative UNSPSC classifications if pursuing state and local dental or oral healthcare contracts.
