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 00JU0ZZ

UNSPSC 85471858 Inspection of spinal canal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect spinal-canal diagnostic procedures. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries baseline and periodic examinations across 14 locations), disability pension medical evaluation and record summarization (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), specialty surgical-procedure carve-outs through centers of excellence (City of Long Beach PPO plan members), emergency and specialty inpatient care for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations target spinal-canal inspection procedures as a discrete service line, suggesting the code assignment does not reflect the actual clinical work being procured.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and boards (Phoenix Retirement Office, Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Long Beach). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida based on recent posts. The most concrete representative opportunity is the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825), due October 9, 2026, which requires baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations with physician supervision and a two-year initial term plus optional extensions. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the opportunities listed suggests this code may not be actively used by state and local procurement for the procedure it nominally describes, warranting verification before pursuing work under this classification.
