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 0S900ZZ

UNSPSC 85725031 Drainage of lumbar vertebral joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged with this code—including independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations in Phoenix, surgical benefit carve-out programs in Long Beach, occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth in Harris County, pharmacy benefit management in Collier County, and temporary health professional staffing for Santa Clara Health System—all involve healthcare administration, occupational health screening, medical benefits management, or clinical staffing. None addresses the surgical drainage of lumbar vertebral joints or any other specific surgical procedure corresponding to the code's nominal scope.

The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the purchasing activity recorded under it suggests either systematic misclassification by the issuing bodies or that this code is rarely used to tag actual state and local procurement in its intended domain. No orthopedic surgical services, lumbar spine procedures, hospital surgical supplies, or operating room support appear in the recent record. Vendors should verify code assignment in any RFP they encounter before committing pursuit resources to an apparent categorization error.
