UNSPSC 85764856: Alteration of lower jaw with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of lower jaw with synthetic 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 0W054JZ

UNSPSC 85764856 Alteration of lower jaw with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the recent opportunities posted under this classification, which instead encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, health professional temporary staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve jaw alteration procedures or any surgical implant work matching the code name.

The mismatch between the code label and the work being procured reflects either a tagging error by the issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices classify health services. Recent opportunities appearing under this code include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance contract (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out network RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing pool qualification (due October 7, 2026). These span state departments, counties, and city health systems across Arizona, California, and Washington. Business development professionals should not assume this code reliably identifies opportunities in orthognathic or oral-maxillofacial surgery contracting.
