This placement 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 2W1BX6Z

UNSPSC 85801316 Compression of left upper arm using pressure dressing is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code's title suggests specialized orthopedic or medical device procurement—compression therapy products or related clinical services—but the recent solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect that product category. Instead, the opportunities logged against 85801316 span clinical laboratory services, occupational health screening, drug and alcohol testing, pharmacy benefit management, wastewater testing, histology services, and inmate medical care—none of which involve compression therapy or upper-extremity medical devices. The mismatch between code name and actual scope suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in state procurement systems to capture a broader category of clinical and diagnostic services.

State and local issuers using this code include health and human services departments (Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs), county and municipal health agencies (Harris County Public Health, Brevard County Medical Examiner, City of Austin Energy), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Northside Independent School District), and specialized entities such as fire departments and state hospitals. Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas, Kentucky, and Illinois, with secondary activity in Florida, Michigan, Colorado, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Illinois Department of Human Services' July 2026 IFB for clinical laboratory services at 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities statewide (due August 4, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for lead sample analysis services for the Department of State Health Services in Austin (due July 31, 2026, with EPA accreditation required); and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' June 2026 RFP for laboratory services supporting psychiatric hospitals across five in-patient facilities (due June 19, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's stated focus and current procurement activity, vendors should verify the actual scope of work before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
