UNSPSC 85801554: Immobilization of right lower arm using cast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to immobilization of right lower arm 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 2W3CX2Z

UNSPSC 85801554 Immobilization of right lower arm using cast is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract scope—orthopedic casting and immobilization devices—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. Instead, the opportunities in the dataset reflect clinical laboratory testing, occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, drug screening, postmortem testing, hazardous waste disposal, and direct-hire positions for medical technologists and laboratory workers. These solicitations span diagnostic and reference testing (lead analysis, drug screening, STAT laboratory services), occupational medicine and employee health (physicals, screenings, surveillance), and ancillary healthcare administration, none of which involve orthopedic casting materials or immobilization supplies.

The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and actual procurement activity suggests either a classification error in the state and local systems tagging these opportunities or that the code itself is not actively used for the goods and services state and local governments actually buy in this domain. No recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB specifically solicits cast supplies, orthopedic immobilization devices, or related orthopedic materials for state or local use. Interested vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC tier and code classification before pursuing opportunities in clinical laboratory services, occupational health, or employee wellness—categories where actual state and local procurement activity concentrates.
