UNSPSC 85714743: Replacement of right temporomandibular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right temporomandibular joint with nonautologous tissue 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 0RRC0KZ

UNSPSC 85714743 Replacement of right temporomandibular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 solicit independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involves temporomandibular joint replacement surgery. This mismatch indicates either a systematic miscoding within state and local procurement systems or that this code has been repurposed within a particular jurisdiction's taxonomy to encompass broader occupational and employee health services. The actual work being solicited includes disability benefit medical record summaries and independent medical examinations for public safety pension systems; occupational medicine examinations for transportation workers; specialty surgical procedure networks and Centers of Excellence programs; pharmaceutical claims administration; and ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, imaging, cardiology, and therapy services.

Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city benefits departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation), and county personnel authorities (Collier County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no single state dominating recent activity. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations for public safety retirees, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with evaluation weighted toward cost (40 percent) and capability (60 percent); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 health professional categories, due October 7, 2026, structured as a non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume. Given the code's nominal surgical scope and the actual scope of recent solicitations, this code shows little relevant activity for vendors focused on joint replacement implants or surgical services.
