UNSPSC 85801048 Change cast on left lower arm is a Commodity code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic casting supplies or services, yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code concern staffing services for medically fragile students (nursing), virtual urgent care telehealth, mobile dialysis, laboratory equipment maintenance, DOT medical examinations, general laboratory services, and emergency medical technician staffing—none of which directly correspond to orthopedic casting products or services. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or that this code is rarely used for its intended purpose in state and local procurement.

State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), health plans (Inland Empire Health Plan in California), county corrections departments (Escambia County Corrections in Florida), county laboratories and pathology departments (Santa Clara County in California), county health authorities (Harris County, Texas), state agencies (Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, State of Illinois, District of Columbia Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services), and county sheriffs' offices (Boulder County, Colorado). Geographic concentration appears in Florida, California, Texas, Illinois, and the District of Columbia. The most recent representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools issuing a Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source staffing services for medically fragile nursing (due December 2, 2025), Inland Empire Health Plan issuing an RFI for 24/7/365 virtual urgent care services (due October 31, 2026), Escambia County Corrections requesting proposals for onsite chronic dialysis services under an RFP (due November 3, 2026), and the State of Illinois issuing an IFB for preemployment physicals and related services (due October 8, 2026). Given the persistent coding misalignment, this code warrants careful verification before pursuing opportunities marked under it.
