This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right 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 0R5C3ZZ

UNSPSC 85715039 Destruction of right temporomandibular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not involve orthopedic or surgical intervention at the procedure level. Instead, the opportunities posted under it address broader health services procurement including independent medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgery benefit carve-out programs, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained populations. These solicitations reflect purchasing decisions by health plans, pension systems, transit authorities, counties, and health systems seeking to contract with vendors for administrative and clinical services delivery rather than for the performance of a single targeted surgical procedure.

The issuing bodies span diverse state and local jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit program administration), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health examinations), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with solicitations issued between July and September 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferries locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, no guaranteed volume). The mismatch between the code's nominal procedure-specific scope and the actual health services administration and staffing work being procured suggests this code may be applied inconsistently or serves as a catch-all for health services contracts in some procurement systems.
