UNSPSC 85764110: Removal of synthetic substitute from lower jaw, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from lower jaw, open 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 0WP50JZ

UNSPSC 85764110 Removal of synthetic substitute from lower jaw, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical dental procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities soliciting under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve dental prosthetics or oral surgery. This mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding of opportunities in the source data or a fundamental divergence between the code's intent and its current application in state and local procurement.

Recent activity under this code shows no actual demand for the procedure named in the code title. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual spend near $8.7 million. The City of Long Beach solicited proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program emphasizing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities target the dental procedure the code nominally covers. Given this disconnect, pursuing this code in its current form would be inefficient without clarifying whether the miscoding represents a temporary data artifact or reflects a persistent issue in how this UNSPSC code is being applied in practice.
