UNSPSC 85715145: Removal of internal fixation device from left temporomandibular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left 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 0RPD44Z

UNSPSC 85715145 Removal of internal fixation device from left temporomandibular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—orthopedic surgical removal of a specific temporomandibular joint device—does not match the work currently being solicited by state and local bodies tagged under this code.

Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these services involve temporomandibular joint surgery or internal fixation device removal. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and public health systems. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services—medical record review, physician scheduling, and disability benefit determinations—with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries division is requesting occupational medical surveillance services including baseline and periodic physician examinations across 14 ferry system locations statewide, with proposals due October 9, 2026. The Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no geographic concentration evident in the source material.

The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the UNSPSC code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or a data-coding artifact that does not reflect genuine market activity in temporomandibular joint surgical device removal at the state and local level.
