UNSPSC 85715123: Supplement left temporomandibular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left temporomandibular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RUD4KZ

UNSPSC 85715123 Supplement left temporomandibular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity bears no meaningful connection to its clinical descriptor. The code shows no recent opportunities for the specific surgical procedure named in the UNSPSC taxonomy. Instead, state and local buyers posting under this code are sourcing independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out networks — none of which involve temporomandibular joint implantation or related orthopedic surgery. The six recent opportunities span municipal retirement systems, county health departments and transit authorities, and regional health systems; issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), the City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. This classification mismatch suggests the code may have been applied in error to medical services procurement records, or that state and local procurement offices are using UNSPSC codes in ways that diverge substantially from their intended clinical scope.

Recent activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with geographic spread reflecting where independent medical and health professional services for public-sector benefit determinations, occupational safety compliance, and employee health plans are solicited. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with five optional one-year extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's nonexclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). No evidence supports that state and local procurement under this code involves surgical implants, orthopedic procedures, or the clinical work the UNSPSC name describes.
