UNSPSC 85714756, Removal of internal fixation device from left temporomandibular joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency medical services for detained youth, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic device removal or surgical procedures specific to temporomandibular joint disorders. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification used in clinical billing and coding systems rather than a procurement taxonomy that state and local jurisdictions apply to purchasing decisions.

State and local governments soliciting under this code designation include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources divisions (City of Long Beach), county human services agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county commission procurement offices (Collier County). The geographic spread spans California, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. Recent opportunities include Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (due October 7, 2026). The code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity diverge substantially, limiting relevance to vendors pursuing contracts for orthopedic surgical services or device removal procedures.
