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 00BT3ZZ

UNSPSC 85472818 Excision of spinal meninges, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure title. State and local procurement systems have tagged six recent opportunities under this code, but only one—the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance solicitation—involves any surgical or procedural medical service. The remaining five opportunities span pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing pools, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth. These purchases represent occupational health screening, benefits administration, and medical evaluation services rather than spinal surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies include state health systems and departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, County of Santa Clara Health System), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic representation spans Washington, California, Texas, Florida, and Arizona. The most concrete recent solicitation—WSDOT's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825), due October 9, 2026—requires baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations across 14 Washington ferry system locations, with examinations supervised by physicians board-certified in occupational medicine. The Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001), due October 16, 2026, seeks disability medical record summarization and coordination of independent medical and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The code's nominal scope—a specific spinal neurosurgical procedure—does not match the work state and local governments are actually purchasing under this designation.
