UNSPSC 85581996: Destruction of upper tooth, all, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of upper tooth, all, 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 0C5W0Z2

UNSPSC 85581996 Destruction of upper tooth, all, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dental surgical procedure. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's stated scope. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code involve comprehensive inmate healthcare management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary care and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve dental extraction or surgical dentistry. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than an active category for dental work procurement.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix of these misaligned opportunities span Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica). The opportunities represent county governments and municipal fire departments procuring broad healthcare and administrative services through RFPs with response dates ranging from April through July 2026. Given the complete absence of dental-related work and the evident mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation scope, pursuit of this code for dental services is not recommended; vendors should verify correct UNSPSC coding before bid preparation or contact issuing procurement offices directly to confirm the intended commodity classification for any specific opportunity.
