UNSPSC 85714952, Removal of internal fixation device from right temporomandibular joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows significant mismatch between its clinical taxonomy name and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, specialty surgical network management, pharmacy benefit administration, youth detention medical services, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which involve temporomandibular joint surgery or device removal. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all classification for diverse medical services contracts, particularly those involving medical record review, independent medical evaluations, occupational examinations, and specialty care coordination. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, state departments of transportation, city retirement offices, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments, reflecting broad geographic and functional diversity rather than surgical specialists or orthopedic practices.

Recent activity spans four states and one county system. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent disability medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applicants (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program under an Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with estimated historical spending of $8.7 million annually (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency, inpatient, and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope of a specific surgical procedure.
