UNSPSC 85714927: Supplement right temporomandibular joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right temporomandibular joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0RUC3JZ

UNSPSC 85714927 Supplement right temporomandibular joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — implantation of a synthetic temporomandibular joint prosthesis — yet the six most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, specialty medical staffing, and emergency services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve temporomandibular joint implants or orthopedic device procurement. The mismatch signals either a tagging error in the procurement management system or a data classification anomaly; this code shows no relevant recent activity for vendors supplying medical devices, orthopedic implants, or procedural support in that domain.

The opportunities that do appear under this code reflect state and local health-administration and benefits-management work: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach requested a surgical procedure carve-out program for its PPO plan (RFP, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's ferry system issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody (due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (RFP, $8.7 million annually); and Santa Clara County Health System established a temporary health professional staffing pool across ancillary clinical categories (RFP, due October 7, 2026). Issuers span county and city health agencies, retirement boards, and state transportation authorities across California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. Because the code's nominal scope — orthopedic device implantation — bears no relation to what state and local governments are actually buying under it, activity under this code is not a reliable signal for device vendors or surgical support contractors.
