UNSPSC 85715207: Fusion of right temporomandibular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right 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 0RGC4KZ

UNSPSC 85715207 Fusion of right temporomandibular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears to describe a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code involve occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve temporomandibular joint fusion or related orthopedic procedures. This divergence suggests either a classification error in how state and local procurement offices are tagging opportunities or that the code is being applied to a broader medical services family than its name indicates. The issuing bodies span a diverse mix of jurisdictions: a state transportation department (Washington), a county health system (Santa Clara County, California), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county commission human resources division (Collier County, Florida), and multiple city pension and benefits offices (Phoenix, Long Beach). No repeat buyers appear across the opportunities listed.

The geographic spread across the source opportunities includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians; the City of Long Beach HR26753 RFP for surgical procedure carve-out and center of excellence management (due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 enrolled members; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026, estimated $8.7 million annually) managing claims processing and specialty drug networks. These opportunities suggest the code may be capturing employment-based health benefit administration and occupational health services rather than the specific joint surgery procedure its nomenclature describes.
