The 5x5 grid as completed is given by:

76  37  58  19  40
25  61  22  43  79
64  10  46  82  28
13  49  70  31  67
52  73  34  55  16

The common sum = 230

Substituting the digits 9012345678 (in this order) for the corresponding letters, and allowing for due punctuation, we get: BLOCK UNITS.

For an explanation, refer to the solution submitted by Charlie in this location.
