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 01S10ZZ

UNSPSC 85482929 Reposition cervical nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes surgical procedure codes for clinical intervention. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical procedures; instead, they reflect a broad mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work actually being solicited. The recent opportunities reveal that state and local agencies are using this code to tag procurement for occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, health plan administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, and specialty surgical care coordination — none of which involve cervical nerve repositioning surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical scope.

Issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted opportunities under this code during the past three months, including city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners' procurement divisions, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The code's application across these diverse procurement categories and issuing bodies signals either systematic miscoding or an unusually broad interpretation of the code's scope that does not align with clinical surgical taxonomy.
