UNSPSC 85715026: Extirpation of matter from left temporomandibular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left 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 0RCD3ZZ

UNSPSC 85715026 Extirpation of matter from left temporomandibular joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its clinical procedure code and the state and local procurement activity it has received. The recent solicitations tagged to this code do not involve surgical extraction from the temporomandibular joint. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and summarization for public safety retirement systems, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's stated clinical scope. This mismatch indicates either a taxonomy coding error by the issuing bodies or a data ingest error in the opportunity feed and signals that this code carries little relevant recent activity for vendors specializing in the surgical procedure it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and health systems. Geographic spread across these recent opportunities spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. The most developed opportunity is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services, posted September 16, 2026, with proposals due October 16, 2026, at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services, posted August 25, 2026, with proposals due October 9, 2026, and a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026, represents another substantial opportunity. Given the misalignment between code and content, practitioners should verify with the issuing body whether the UNSPSC coding reflects intended scope or constitutes a classification error before investing in proposal preparation.
