UNSPSC 85714804: Inspection of left temporomandibular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of 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 0RJD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85714804 Inspection of left temporomandibular joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under it. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity aligned with its stated medical procedure scope.

The recent solicitations tagged to this code actually address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve temporomandibular joint inspection. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services across fourteen ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach pursued a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for Centers of Excellence networks (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County requested pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, with a historical annual pharmacy spend of approximately $8.7 million). The mismatch between the code's procedural definition and these substantive opportunities suggests that either the code was applied in error across multiple jurisdictions or state and local procurement systems are using the code as a catchall for medical services administration rather than as a precise descriptor of orthopedic surgery. State and local vendors tracking this code should verify the actual scope of each opportunity at posting rather than relying on the nominal code definition.
