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 2W3BX2Z

UNSPSC 85801530 Immobilization of left upper arm using cast is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code ostensibly covers orthopedic casting supplies and services, but the recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged under this code instead reflect clinical laboratory testing, occupational health screening, medical surveillance, drug testing, pharmacy services, inmate healthcare, postmortem testing, and wastewater surveillance. None of these solicitations involve the provision or procurement of arm immobilization casts or related orthopedic devices. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code is no longer actively used for orthopedic casting procurement in state and local markets.

The opportunities posted under this code span multiple states and issuing-body types including state health departments (Illinois, Texas, Colorado, Kentucky, Michigan), county commissioners and purchasing offices (Harris County, Texas; Brevard County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Solano County, California; Muscogee County, Georgia), city governments (Austin, Texas; Palm Bay, Florida), school districts (Northside ISD, Austin ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools), special districts (trophy clubs, fire departments), and veterans affairs departments. Representative recent solicitations include the Illinois Department of Human Services' IFB for clinical laboratory services at mental health facilities due August 4, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for lead sample analysis services due July 31, 2026; and the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner's RFQ for postmortem testing services. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Kentucky, Colorado, and Illinois, with scattered procurement in other states. The absence of actual orthopedic casting solicitations under this code and the consistent mismatch between the code name and procurement scope suggests this commodity code warrants clarification or reassignment by state procurement offices before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
