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 00DT0ZZ

UNSPSC 85472727 Extraction of spinal meninges, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect administrative healthcare operations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and general health professional staffing — none involving spinal surgery or meningeal extraction. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged or that the code is not actively used for its stated surgical procedure by state and local buyers.

Recent opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by municipal pension boards, county health systems, county procurement offices, and state transportation agencies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) seeks medical record summarization and disability benefit examination coordination; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) addresses baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (due October 7, 2026) procures Centers of Excellence networks for voluntary elective procedures; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (submitted April 9, 2026) covers claims processing and formulary administration for approximately 2,400 employees. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). No substantive recent activity supports procurement of spinal meningeal surgical procedures under this code.
