UNSPSC 85714801: Release left 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 0RND0ZZ

UNSPSC 85714801 Release left temporomandibular joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not involve temporomandibular joint surgery or orthopedic procedures of that nature. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a broad interpretation of the code that diverges significantly from its procedural name.

The opportunities that are tagged to this code reflect activity by diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). These represent municipal governments, county systems, and state departments procuring various health and administrative services. Given the mismatch between the code definition and the actual work being solicited, this code does not present a viable procurement focus for vendors offering temporomandibular joint surgical services or orthopedic procedural work.
