This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 0RBD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85714847 Excision of left temporomandibular joint, open approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope focused on a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities actually posted under this code reflect no medical device procurement, surgical services, or procedure-specific purchasing related to temporomandibular joint excision. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits, and youth detention medical services — none of which align with the code's stated descriptor. The mismatch suggests this code shows little relevant recent activity for businesses pursuing state and local contracts in the narrow domain of TMJ excision procedures or related surgical supplies.

The six recent opportunities posted under this code span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, RFSQ HHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The code appears to be a taxonomy misclassification; no surgeon, medical device vendor, or surgical procedure contractor should rely on this code to identify genuine procurement opportunities in the TMJ excision space.
