UNSPSC 85715232: Drainage of left temporomandibular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0R9D4ZZ

UNSPSC 85715232 Drainage of left temporomandibular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the temporomandibular joint, but the recent solicitations posted under this code do not reflect that scope; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. These opportunities represent general healthcare administration and personnel services rather than a specific surgical procedure. State and local buyers—including county governments, city procurement offices, county health systems, and state transportation departments—are soliciting these services, but the code's nominal title does not align with what is actually being purchased.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026 (maximum $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services with examinations across 14 ferry terminal locations, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code's current posting activity suggests it is either tagged incorrectly by issuing bodies or the code itself is misaligned with contemporary state and local healthcare procurement practice, making it unreliable for targeting opportunities in surgical procedure services.
