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 2W3PX1Z

UNSPSC 85801540 Immobilization of left upper leg using splint is a Commodity code that state and local governments nominally procure for orthopedic supply and patient care support; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no direct connection to splint procurement. Instead, the opportunities span clinical laboratory services, occupational health screenings, drug and alcohol testing, nursing staffing for medically complex students, dialysis services, phlebotomy support, blood product distribution, and postmortem testing—none of which involve immobilization devices or orthopedic supplies. The code shows substantial recent activity, but the opportunities are plainly unrelated to its stated scope. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Illinois, Texas, Michigan, Kentucky, Nevada, and the District of Columbia), county governments (Hillsborough, Escambia, Collin, Harris, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Bernalillo, and others), cities (Arlington, Austin, Newark, Tucson), school districts (Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, Northside ISD), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit), and specialized authorities (Inland Empire Health Plan). Repeat issuers include the Illinois Department of Human Services (multiple clinical laboratory service rebirds across facilities), Texas HHSC (lead analysis, phlebotomy, and laboratory services), and County medical systems (Florida counties and Texas counties competing for laboratory and occupational health provider contracts).

Geographic spread centers on Texas (particularly Austin, San Antonio, Harris County, and El Paso), Illinois (statewide mental health and developmental disability facilities), Florida (Hillsborough, Escambia, Collier, and Brevard counties), and California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties), with secondary activity in Kentucky, Nevada, Colorado, Washington State, New Jersey, Arizona, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' sole-source nursing staffing procurement (RFP, response due December 2, 2025) for medically fragile students with 1:1 nursing support; Escambia County Corrections' RFP for onsite chronic dialysis services (response due November 3, 2026); Illinois Department of Human Services clinical laboratory services for 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities (IFB, response due September 9 and August 14, 2026 across multiple rebirds); Texas HHSC lead sample analysis services requiring EPA NLLAP accreditation (IFB, response due August 21, 2026); and Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs laboratory services at the Bowling Green Veterans Center (RFP, response due July 22, 2026). The code does not reflect actual procurement of immobilization supplies or orthopedic equipment and warrants clarification or recoding for future activity targeting that commodity scope.
