UNSPSC 85714727: Supplement right temporomandibular joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right temporomandibular joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0RUC0JZ

UNSPSC 85714727 Supplement right temporomandibular joint with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—implantation of a synthetic temporomandibular joint prosthesis—yet the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations explicitly procure or reference temporomandibular joint implants or orthopedic surgical implants of any kind. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied in error to broader healthcare procurement categories, or state and local agencies are not tagging temporomandibular joint implant procurements under this UNSPSC code at present.

Recent activity spans municipal retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county commissioners across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026, for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance with an October 9 deadline and a pre-bid conference on August 31; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with an October 7 response deadline. No recent opportunities directly solicit temporomandibular joint implants or related orthopedic implant procurement under this code.
