UNSPSC 85801571 Immobilization of right upper arm using other device is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted against it do not reflect this scope—the code appears to be a cataloging mismatch. Instead, the opportunities reflect a substantial and active market for clinical laboratory testing services, occupational health examinations, drug and alcohol screening, postmortem testing, and related diagnostic services across state health departments, counties, municipalities, school districts, and specialized agencies. State and local buyers are actively sourcing specimen collection, phlebotomy, test processing, result reporting, and integration with electronic medical record systems (particularly PointClickCare), along with specialized testing for occupational exposures, drug surveillance, environmental contamination, and population health monitoring. The issuing bodies span a diverse mix: state health and human services departments (Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, Colorado, Nevada, Michigan), county governments and public health offices (Harris County, Hillsborough County, Brevard County, Marion County), school districts (Austin ISD, Northside ISD, Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD), transit authorities (Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County), state veterans affairs agencies (Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs), correctional and detention facilities, fire departments, and regional healthcare and mental health organizations. Repeat buyers include the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs, which posted multiple RFPs for medical laboratory services across different veterans centers in May and June 2026, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which solicited lead sample analysis and wastewater testing services.

Recent opportunities demonstrate strong geographic concentration in Texas, Kentucky, and Illinois, with secondary activity in Florida, Georgia, Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted lead sample analysis services (IFB HHS0017054 and HHS0017054V2, due July 31, 2026, and an earlier June 11, 2026 deadline) requiring EPA-recognized NLLAP accreditation and specialized EPA-approved testing methodologies. The Illinois Department of Human Services posted an IFB for clinical laboratory services across 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities statewide (IFB B-52955, due August 4, 2026, with a 7% Business Enterprise Program set-aside). The Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs issued at least seven RFPs between late April and late June 2026 for medical laboratory services at skilled nursing facilities (Thomson-Hood, Western Kentucky, Bowling Green, Carl M. Brashear, and Paul E Patton Veterans Centers), all following a consistent technical and cost evaluation format with PointClickCare integration as a mandatory requirement. The State of Nevada Purchasing Division sought clinical laboratory testing services statewide with a 5% Nevada-based business preference (RFP 99SWC-S3830, due July 13, 2026). The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services posted RFPs for statewide drug screening and confirmation testing across 83 counties (RFP 260000001381, due May 4, 2026) and psychiatric hospital laboratory services (RFP 260000001866, due June 19, 2026). Austin Independent School District, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, and the Oregon State Police each solicited occupational health and medical surveillance services. The District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner posted RFQs for postmortem testing services. The code's nominal name bears no relationship to what state and local jurisdictions are actually buying under it.
