UNSPSC 85801510: Immobilization of left hand using cast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to immobilization of left hand using cast. 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 2W3FX2Z

UNSPSC 85801510 Immobilization of left hand using cast, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities identified under this code. The recent solicitations are overwhelmingly for clinical laboratory services, occupational health screening, drug and alcohol testing, pharmacy benefit management, and related diagnostic and medical testing work—none of which constitute immobilization or orthopedic casting services. The code's nominal scope—a specific medical device or procedure—bears no meaningful relationship to what state and local buyers are actually procuring under this designation.

The mismatch reflects a classification error in the state and local procurement systems: the code was applied to laboratory testing, occupational medicine, and employee wellness contracts by issuing bodies including the Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs, and county and school district procurement offices across Texas, Michigan, Nevada, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, and Ohio. No recent opportunities show actual demand for cast immobilization products or services. This code shows little relevant recent activity and should not be pursued under its stated scope.
