UNSPSC 85801556: Immobilization of right lower arm using splint

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to immobilization of right 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 2W3CX1Z

UNSPSC 85801556 Immobilization of right lower arm using splint (Commodity) describes a discrete medical supply or procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code bear no meaningful relationship to arm immobilization. Instead, the opportunities catalog a broad range of clinical laboratory, occupational health, and medical surveillance services—from lead sample analysis and postmortem testing to drug screening, physical examinations for firefighters and police officers, laboratory services for psychiatric hospitals and veterans centers, and wastewater testing for disease surveillance. The code shows negligible activity aligned with its nominal scope; state and local procurement offices appear to be applying this Commodity code as a catch-all for medical testing and occupational health services that do not fit cleanly into other taxonomies.

The issuing bodies span state health departments, county public health offices, independent school districts, municipal transit authorities, veterans affairs departments, and correctional facilities across Texas, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Colorado, Nevada, Georgia, Oregon, Florida, and several other states. Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (lead testing and wastewater surveillance), Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs (laboratory services across three veteran centers), and state departments of health and social services (clinical laboratory and occupational health services). Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC lead sample analysis IFB (due July 31, 2026, EPA-recognized NLLAP accreditation required), the Illinois Department of Human Services clinical laboratory services IFB at 14 mental health facilities (due August 4, 2026, 7% BEP goal), the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs medical laboratory services RFPs at three long-term care skilled nursing facilities (proposals due between April 22 and July 22, 2026), and the City of Austin mobile medical surveillance RFQS (due August 4, 2026, 36-month term with 50-point Company Qualifications scoring). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Kentucky, and the upper Midwest; the code sees occasional activity in the Southeast and Mountain West. The range of services—from environmental lead testing to occupational physicals to in-facility laboratory operations—reflects state and local governments' use of procurement to secure point-of-care and reference laboratory capacity, occupational health screening, and public health surveillance infrastructure, not medical immobilization supplies or services.
