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 0Q900ZZ

UNSPSC 85702272 Drainage of lumbar vertebra, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of state and local procurement activity recently posted under it. The code's nominal definition refers to a surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it describe healthcare administration and management services—inmate medical programs, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care platforms, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical drainage of the lumbar vertebra. The mismatch suggests either a systematic coding misapplication by posting jurisdictions or a data error; the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical name.

The five opportunities posted between February and April 2026 span issuing bodies including a county consolidated government (Columbus Consolidated Government / Muscogee County Prison), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), another county board (Monroe County), a county health department (San Mateo County Health), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department). Geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida (two opportunities), California (two opportunities). Representative recent solicitations include an RFP from the Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, a Collier County RFP (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million, and a Monroe County RFP (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members. None of these opportunities align with the code's surgical focus, and the code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for state and local buyers pursuing this work.
