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 0RQ60ZZ

UNSPSC 85715636 Repair thoracic vertebral joint, open approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code yields no solicitations for actual orthopedic surgical services or repair procedures; instead, the recent postings address medical administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none involving thoracic vertebral repair or surgical intervention. This mismatch indicates the code is either misapplied in state and local procurement tagging or the source database contains classification errors that render the code unreliable for procurement targeting in this category.

The recent opportunities posted under the code span Arizona (City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation services, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out program for PPO members, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing, RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty and emergency medical services RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources and health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the actual procurements being tagged to it, this code presents significant risk for business development targeting and warrants direct verification with issuing offices before pursuit.
