This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left temporomandibular joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RGD34Z

UNSPSC 85715005 Fusion of left temporomandibular joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach, Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code—and the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The six recent solicitations span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which directly address temporomandibular joint fusion or percutaneous fixation procedures. The opportunities instead reflect broader healthcare administrative, staffing, and benefit management activities that appear to have been miscoded or tagged with this commodity designation in error.

The geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with issuing bodies including municipal governments, county agencies, and state transportation authorities. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 five-year contract value; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code appears to carry little decision-relevance for vendors pursuing actual surgical-procedure-based procurements and warrants clarification with issuing bodies before pursuit, as the tagging suggests systematic classification issues rather than genuine demand for temporomandibular joint fusion services.
