UNSPSC 85801516: Immobilization of left lower arm using splint

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to immobilization of left lower arm using splint. 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 2W3DX1Z

UNSPSC 85801516 Immobilization of left lower arm using splint is a Commodity code that state and local government bodies purchase as a component of comprehensive occupational health, nursing, clinical laboratory, and medical screening services — not as a standalone splinting supply but as part of broader health services delivery where musculoskeletal support may be required within a clinical or occupational health context. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect direct procurement of arm splints; instead, they capture health services contracting where splinting capability may be incidental to the primary work scope.

State and local issuing bodies active under this code span school districts, county health systems, county corrections departments, county fire rescue, state departments of human services, county public health offices, and independent school districts. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools issuing a Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source staffing services for medically fragile students (Solicitation 25619SSDDST, responses through November 27, 2025), requiring nursing personnel capable of managing complex pediatric health needs; Escambia County Corrections Department requesting proposals for comprehensive onsite chronic dialysis services (Solicitation PD2526121, due November 3, 2026), emphasizing emergency response and clinical oversight; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners seeking competitive sealed bids for comprehensive occupational wellness examinations for fire rescue personnel (ITB-26-00315, due July 21, 2026, estimated value $2,480,940 over three years). Geographic activity spans Florida (Hillsborough, Escambia, Monroe Counties; Brevard County), California (Inland Empire Health Plan in San Bernardino County; Santa Clara County; San Mateo County), Texas (Harris County, Collin County, Austin, San Antonio school districts), Illinois, Colorado (Boulder County), Nevada, Kentucky, and the District of Columbia. The code shows minimal direct relevance to splinting procurement and appears to be a taxonomy mismatch in recent state and local contracting systems; the actual solicited work falls under occupational health services, clinical laboratory services, nursing staffing, and medical surveillance — categories that may incidentally include musculoskeletal support as part of comprehensive care but do not center on immobilization devices or orthopedic supplies procurement.
