UNSPSC 85714910: Revision of spacer in right temporomandibular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in right temporomandibular joint, percutaneous 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 0RWC38Z

UNSPSC 85714910, Revision of spacer in right temporomandibular joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal surgical procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical terminology describes a specific orthopedic surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass disability medical evaluations, health plan surgery benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, emergency and inpatient care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services—none of which involve temporomandibular joint procedures or percutaneous orthopedic revision. The divergence suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data classification error in how these opportunities were tagged to the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The geographic spread of these miscoded opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), reflecting activity across multiple regions and issuing-body types—municipal pension systems, city employee benefits offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice and health systems, and county human resources divisions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Because these opportunities bear no substantive relationship to the code's stated surgical scope, the code shows little relevant recent activity for business development targeting orthopedic or TMJ procedure products or services.
