UNSPSC 85581937: Replacement of upper tooth, multiple, with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of upper tooth, multiple, 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 0CRW0J1

UNSPSC 85581937 Replacement of upper tooth, multiple, with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that ostensibly covers dental prosthetic procedures, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope. The opportunities instead reflect procurement of comprehensive healthcare services—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve dental prosthetics or tooth replacement. The mismatch between the code's title and the work actually being solicited suggests that this code has captured opportunities through miscategorization or overly broad tagging rather than through a coherent procurement family.

The issuing bodies include a county corrections system (Muscogee County, Georgia), a county benefits consortium (Collier County, Florida), a county health plan (Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). The geographic spread spans Georgia, Florida, and California, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include Muscogee County Prison's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). This code appears to have limited relevance for vendors focused on dental prosthetics and tooth replacement—the opportunities reflect healthcare administration and delivery services rather than dental commodity procurement.
