UNSPSC 85714733: Resection of right temporomandibular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right temporomandibular joint, 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 0RTC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85714733 Resection of right temporomandibular joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this classification involve independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which match the code's stated scope of a surgical intervention on the temporomandibular joint. This systematic mismatch indicates either classification error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or that the code is being used as a default placeholder for healthcare services broadly, rather than for the specific procedure the code name describes.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, and municipalities: the City of Phoenix (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant regional concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations; the City of Long Beach RFP (due October 7, 2026) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence; and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations. None of these opportunities involves temporomandibular joint surgery, and vendors pursuing work under this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with individual issuing bodies before submitting.
