UNSPSC 85763917: Removal of synthetic substitute from upper jaw, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from upper jaw, external 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 0WP4XJZ

UNSPSC 85763917, Removal of synthetic substitute from upper jaw, external approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure — extraction or removal of prosthetic or synthetic material from the maxilla via external surgical access — but recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect that scope. Instead, the solicitations capture occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical network carve-outs, temporary clinical staffing placement, and emergency care for detained youth. None of these activities involve maxillofacial prosthetic removal or related oral surgical procedures. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara Health System, Collier County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with no apparent repeat buyer under this particular code.

Geographic activity in the recent opportunities centers on Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Collier County in Southwest Florida), Washington State (statewide ferry system), and Texas (Harris County). The representative recent opportunities are the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no genuine recent activity in oral and maxillofacial surgery procurement; the tagging appears to be a classification mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited.
