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 00NY3ZZ

UNSPSC 85473225 Release lumbar spinal cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name suggests a specific spinal surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve percutaneous lumbar spinal cord release procedures.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments (Muscogee County Prison via Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia; Collier County and Monroe County in Florida; San Mateo County in California) and municipal public safety agencies (Santa Monica Fire Department). Recent opportunities include RFP No. 26-0008 from Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (deadline April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health's MHSA Innovation RFP for peer support services ($580,000 funding, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 628 for a fire department medical director (due October 16, 2025). The geographic distribution spans Florida, Georgia, and California, with no discernible concentration. The code appears to reflect a mismatch between the taxonomic classification and the actual health services and medical administration work being procured — the recent opportunities suggest state and local governments are using this code for general healthcare services procurement rather than for the specific spinal surgical procedure its name denotes.
