This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of upper tooth with drainage device, open approach, single. 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 0C9W000

UNSPSC 85581990 Drainage of upper tooth with drainage device, open approach, single (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to state and local government procurement activity. The code nominates a specific dental surgical procedure but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it reflect instead comprehensive healthcare contracting — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which constitute upper-tooth drainage procedures or dental surgical services as a primary deliverable. The issuing bodies include county corrections departments, county human resources and benefits divisions, county health departments, county behavioral health agencies, and municipal fire departments. No single issuing body appears more than once across the recent opportunities. The scope mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual work being procured indicates either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code is not the appropriate taxonomy entry for the healthcare services these jurisdictions are buying.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with no concentration pattern evident. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (RFP, response due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP, response due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (RFP, response due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director RFP (RFP, response due October 16, 2025). Given the systematic mismatch between code definition and recent procurements, vendors should not rely on this code for market intelligence in dental surgical services or targeted pursuit of state and local opportunities.
