UNSPSC 85715110: Revision of spacer in right temporomandibular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in right temporomandibular joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RWC48Z

UNSPSC 85715110, Revision of spacer in right temporomandibular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code's abstract definition describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve temporomandibular joint repair or the procedure named in the code.

The geographic spread and issuing bodies reflect this mismatch: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) have posted opportunities under this code between July and September 2026. The recent opportunities are driven by public-sector employee benefits administration, occupational health compliance, youth detention health care, and temporary clinical staffing needs—none of which relate to the procedural orthopedic scope the code nominally describes. State and local procurement systems appear to have miscoded these opportunities; the code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for business development purposes at this time.
