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 2W3JX3Z

UNSPSC 85801541 Immobilization of right finger using brace, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tracked under this code. The recent opportunities posted against this UNSPSC code span clinical laboratory testing, occupational health services, drug screening, pharmacy benefit management, and medical examinations—none of which involve orthopedic bracing or finger immobilization devices. The code appears to be a medical taxonomy classifier that state and local procurement systems have applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health service solicitations, creating a mismatch between the code's intended product scope and actual buying patterns.

The issuing bodies pursuing activity under this code include state health departments (Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan, Colorado), county health and human services agencies (Harris County, Hillsborough County, Brevard County, Muscogee County), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Northside ISD, Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD), state correctional and veterans facilities, fire departments, and special-purpose health organizations such as the Texas Animal Health Commission. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas, Kentucky, Michigan, Colorado, and Illinois, with secondary activity in Georgia, Florida, and Oregon. Representative current solicitations include the Illinois Department of Human Services IFB for clinical laboratory services at 14 mental health facilities (due August 4, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for lead sample analysis services (due July 31, 2026), the Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD RFP for agency-wide clinical laboratory services (due June 17, 2026), and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services RFP for psychiatric hospital laboratory services (due June 19, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope bears no relation to the work state and local governments are actually procuring under it, vendors pursuing opportunities in this taxonomy should treat the code designation as a data-entry artifact and evaluate each opportunity on its merit as clinical laboratory, occupational health, or medical screening services rather than orthopedic device supply.
