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 00SX0ZZ

UNSPSC 85473137 Reposition thoracic spinal cord, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical spinal procedures. Instead, the opportunities reflect healthcare administration and management services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. State and local procurement offices are using this code to tag healthcare service contracts that do not involve thoracic spinal cord repositioning surgery.

The issuing bodies include a county prison system (Muscogee County, Georgia), county commissioners (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health agency (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative opportunities include Muscogee County Prison's RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026, current monthly cost $95,537.71, contract incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC), Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members with proposals due April 16, 2026. This code shows minimal relevance to actual orthopedic surgical work and should be treated as a misclassification or system error rather than a meaningful procurement category for spinal surgery services.
