UNSPSC 85714823: Fusion of left temporomandibular joint with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left temporomandibular joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RGD04Z

UNSPSC 85714823 Fusion of left temporomandibular joint with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the six opportunities in the dataset span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out programs, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve fusion surgery or temporomandibular joint procedures. This code shows a fundamental mismatch between its UNSPSC taxonomy definition and actual procurement activity tagged under it in the state and local market.

The recent opportunities reflect purchasing by diverse issuing bodies: county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), cities (City of Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County), and specialized public agencies (Washington State Ferries). The geographic spread spans California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Response deadlines cluster in the fourth quarter of 2026, with some spanning into early 2027. This code does not reflect a coherent procurement category and carries minimal value as a sourcing guide for business development professionals evaluating state and local health services contracting.
