This chiropractic 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 9WB7XLZ

UNSPSC 85861201 Chiropractic manipulation of upper extremities, other method (Commodity) bears little relation to the state and local opportunities currently posted under this code. The recent solicitations are predominantly for rehabilitation and therapeutic services—orientation and mobility specialist services, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, art therapy, music therapy, peer support services, mental health counseling, and behavioral coaching—none of which fall within the scope of chiropractic manipulation. The code's nominal taxonomy does not match the work actually being procured today, and this mismatch reflects either a data classification error in how opportunities have been tagged or a fundamental disconnect between the code's definition and its current use in state and local procurement systems.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state supported living centers and psychiatric facilities), Michigan Department of Education (school for the deaf), Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families, school districts across multiple states (Tacoma Public Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Clayton County Public Schools, Dougherty County School System, Crook County School District, Ocean Springs School District, Eanes Independent School District, Bibb County School District), counties in Colorado and Wisconsin (Boulder County, Walworth County, Kenosha County), and municipal governments in cities including Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque, and Salem. The geographic spread spans Texas, Michigan, Washington, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Colorado, Wisconsin, Arizona, and New Mexico. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's solicitation for a Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist at Brenham State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017698, due July 28, 2026), the Michigan Department of Education's RFP for occupational therapy services at the Michigan School for the Deaf (RFP 260000002364, due July 28, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for speech-language pathologists and assistants for short and long-term assignments (RFP 24127-RFP-DST, due March 23, 2026 with budget estimated at approximately $11.6 million annually). The code shows substantial recent activity, but the opportunities are unrelated to chiropractic care.
