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 0RQ13ZZ

UNSPSC 85716192 Repair cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for the spine, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, emergency youth detention medical care, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with spinal surgery procurement or the delivery of percutaneous cervical vertebral repair procedures. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting this specific procedure code through conventional contracting vehicles; the code shows little relevant recent activity.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the underlying procurement system or that the code library does not accurately reflect how state and local health systems categorize medical procedure procurement. Vendors pursuing surgical service contracting should verify code assignment directly with issuing bodies and rely on RFP scope statements rather than UNSPSC category names as the authoritative description of work being sought.
