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 0QS04ZZ

UNSPSC 85702426 Reposition lumbar vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal surgical procedure scope and the actual work being solicited under it by state and local bodies. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve spinal surgery or any medical procedures aligned with the code's title. Instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve repositioning lumbar vertebrae or spinal procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting broad jurisdictional involvement in health-related services procurement. This code appears to have been applied erroneously to these solicitations and does not represent a genuine procurement category for spine surgery services in state and local contracting.

Recent opportunities reveal activity across multiple states and service domains unrelated to the code's stated purpose. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services to support Washington State Ferries employees across 14 locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026, for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories on July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given that none of these opportunities align with the code's nominal surgical scope, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing spine surgery or related medical procedures in state and local procurement.
