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 0QN04ZZ

UNSPSC 85702454 Release lumbar vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal surgical-procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name references a specific spinal surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect broader healthcare administration and staffing services—medical record review and summarization, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs—none of which involve the procedure itself. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement systems, county health authorities, state transportation departments, and large county health systems. This mismatch suggests either a tagging anomaly within the source system or a drift in how the code is being applied to encompass healthcare procurement more broadly.

The geographic spread spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations; the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for a temporary health professional staffing pool across 13 ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program with Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the specific surgical procedure named in its title.
