UNSPSC 85581994: Destruction of lower tooth, multiple, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of lower tooth, multiple, 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 0C5X0Z1

UNSPSC 85581994 Destruction of lower tooth, multiple, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code address virtual primary care services, pharmacy benefit management, peer support services for behavioral health workers, fire department medical direction, and inmate medical and pharmacy services — none of which involve dental extraction procedures. State and local procurement offices are using this dental code to classify solicitations for broader healthcare administration, clinical staffing, and benefit management services that fall outside the nominal scope of the code. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and how jurisdictions are deploying the code in practice.

The issuing bodies represent a geographic and jurisdictional mix spanning Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners), California (San Mateo County Health), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), and California municipal governments (Santa Monica Fire Department). The recent opportunities span county healthcare consortium administration, county correctional health services, county virtual care expansion, and specialized peer support pilot programs, with response dates ranging from July 2025 through May 2026. The code does not show identifiable repeat procurement patterns or concentration among particular issuing bodies. No recent opportunities match the dental extraction procedures the code nominally describes, making this code a poor basis for business development targeting state and local dental or oral surgery services.
