UNSPSC 85581947: Repair of lower tooth, single, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair of lower tooth, 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 0CQX0Z0

UNSPSC 85581947 Repair of lower tooth, single, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title references a specific dental procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluation, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve dental repair or tooth procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems using this code or that the code has been applied to a broader health services category in practice that bears no relationship to the code's stated purpose.

Activity appears concentrated among larger state and local health-purchasing entities. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Collier County, the County of Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, and county-level workforce purchasers have posted recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry terminals, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services for public safety retirees (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing. The geographic spread includes California, Arizona, Florida, and Washington; no pattern of concentrated repeat activity under this code emerged from the recent opportunities. The profound disconnect between the code's dental-repair title and the actual health services being procured warrants confirmation of whether the code remains an active classification for state and local buyers or whether these opportunities represent data entry errors.
