UNSPSC 85714964 Release right temporomandibular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with nominal scope in orthopedic surgical procedures; however, recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect actual purchases of surgical services aligned with the code name. The most recent solicitations under this code address medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve the specific procedural intervention named in the code. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems to encompass broader medical contracting and benefits administration services. Issuing bodies include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, state transportation departments, city retirement offices, and county juvenile justice agencies, indicating fragmented purchasing across multiple administrative functions within government rather than concentrated procurement of a single clinical service.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000 and proposals due October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) issued RFQ RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services, a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed volume, proposals due October 7, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered dependents, with annual historical pharmacy spending near $8.7 million and an initial three-year contract term effective January 1, 2026. The code shows little relevant activity aligned with its nominal procedural scope.
