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 00HV0MZ

UNSPSC 85473121 Insertion of neurostimulator lead into spinal cord, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare—represent ancillary healthcare administration and occupational medicine services rather than neurosurgical procedures. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting neurostimulator implantation or spine surgery directly under this code; instead, they are procuring administrative or clinical support services tangentially related to healthcare benefits and occupational health programs.

The issuing bodies reflect typical state and local healthcare purchasers: a city retirement office (Phoenix), a county government (Collier County and Harris County), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a city employee benefits program (Long Beach), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code appears misaligned with the opportunities it has attracted, signaling either a taxonomy misclassification or infrequent direct procurement of spine surgery in the state and local market.
