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 0PQ40ZZ

UNSPSC 85692625 Repair thoracic vertebra, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most-recent opportunities posted under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — bear no connection to thoracic vertebra repair or surgical orthopedic procedures. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification that state and local procurement offices have misapplied to broader healthcare service solicitations, suggesting either a tagging error in the underlying database or a fundamental mismatch between medical billing nomenclature and state-and-local procurement taxonomy.

No actionable purchasing activity exists under this code for state and local business development. Firms pursuing healthcare contracts with state agencies, counties, and special-purpose districts should monitor higher-level healthcare service codes—such as Family or Class codes covering correctional health, pharmacy benefits administration, or occupational health services—rather than granular surgical procedure codes that do not reflect how public procurement offices actually structure healthcare solicitations.
