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 00NX4ZZ

UNSPSC 85473324 Release thoracic spinal cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect the surgical procedure the code nominally describes; instead, they span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve thoracic spinal cord procedures or percutaneous endoscopic surgical techniques. The code appears to be misapplied across a diverse mix of issuing bodies including county corrections authorities (Muscogee County Prison, Georgia), county health benefit programs (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Florida; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, Florida), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County Health, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department, California).

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Georgia, Florida, and California, but the scope mismatch signals that this code is not reliably capturing surgical procedure procurement in state and local markets. Recent RFPs posted under this code include Muscogee County Prison's April 2026 RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's April 2026 RFP for pharmacy benefit management services for county employees (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's March 2026 RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's September 2025 RFP for a fire department medical director (due October 16, 2025). The code does not reflect actual surgical procurement activity and appears to be a taxonomy classification error rather than a reliable signal for pursuing surgical procedure opportunities in state and local markets.
