UNSPSC 85764137: Reattachment of lower jaw, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of 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 0WM50ZZ

UNSPSC 85764137 Reattachment of lower jaw, open approach (Commodity) shows a fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure—and the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve jaw surgery or orthognathic procedures. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks for general procedures, and temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to be a classification artifact rather than an active procurement category for the actual procedure named.

State and local issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted medical services solicitations tagged to this code, but none solicit jaw reattachment services or related surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) seeks disability medical record review and independent medical examinations; the City of Long Beach (California) requests surgical center-of-excellence management for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation seeks occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) requests general hospital and specialty services for detained youth; Collier County (Florida) seeks pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) seeks temporary staffing across ancillary clinical specialties. No recent opportunity under this code involves jaw surgery, oral surgery, or maxillofacial reconstruction. The code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned to its nominal clinical scope and does not represent an active purchasing category for state and local medical services.
