This 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 7W02X4Z

UNSPSC 85841216 Osteopathic treatment of thoracic region using indirect forces is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific manipulative osteopathic technique—does not appear in any of the recent solicitations posted under this code. The opportunities instead span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These are administrative healthcare services and benefits management functions, not osteopathic manual medicine. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources offices (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), city retirement boards and benefits offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), and specialty procurement divisions. The geographic spread includes Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida.

Recent representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026 with examinations to be performed by occupational medicine-boarded physicians; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 public safety applicants annually, due October 16, 2026, at a maximum value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code appears to be mistagged by issuing bodies for healthcare procurement activity that falls outside osteopathic manipulation scope. Bidders should verify code applicability before pursuing these opportunities.
