UNSPSC 94101601: Dental associations

UNSPSC 94101601 Dental associations (Commodity) captures state and local procurement for managed dental services administration and network coordination serving public benefit populations, including plan design, provider management, claims processing, and care coordination typically operated by qualified nonprofit organizations or MCOs contracting as single payors or program administrators rather than direct clinical delivery. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in Medicaid and developmentally disabled populations across a handful of state and regional health agencies, reflecting demand for specialized program administration rather than commodity-level procurement.

The Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services is administering the most recent solicitation—a Qualified List of Vendors procurement (QLV 27007063) for Medicaid Managed Care Dental Program administration with proposals due November 13, 2026, requiring MBE/WBE allocations of ten percent and comprehensive insurance coverage including $2 million professional liability per occurrence. The Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities issued ITN 2526-031 for statewide dental services coordination serving six regional divisions across all 67 counties with a five-year term, $3.6 million appropriated, and August 11, 2026 response deadline, targeting a qualified nonprofit operator to manage diagnostic, preventive, restorative, and denture-related services as payor of last resort. The code shows little beyond these two recent public-sector dental-administration procurements; one entry tagged to this code—a Valencia College semiconductor cleanroom curriculum review—is plainly unrelated to dental services and represents a tagging mismatch rather than meaningful activity under the code's nominal scope. Geographic spread is limited: recent opportunities cluster in Florida and Rhode Island, with broader demand emerging only through Medicaid managed care expansion at the state level rather than city or county purchasing.
