This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of left temporomandibular joint, external 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 0RJDXZZ

UNSPSC 85714644 Inspection of left temporomandibular joint, external approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal code name and the medical services actually being solicited by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect broad occupational health, disability evaluation, and specialty medical service contracting — not the orthopedic joint inspection the code nominally describes. State and local buyers posting under this code are acquiring independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing for hospital systems. Issuing bodies span retirement boards (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Long Beach, Phoenix).

Recent activity clusters in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFQ RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026. The City of Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. This code shows substantial activity but warrants verification with issuing offices, as the UNSPSC classification appears misaligned with actual procurement scope.
