UNSPSC 85801572: Immobilization of right upper arm using splint

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to immobilization of right upper 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 2W3AX1Z

UNSPSC 85801572 Immobilization of right upper arm using splint, a Commodity code, does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under recent opportunities tagged with this code. The recent contract opportunities in the dataset are overwhelmingly clinical and diagnostic laboratory services, occupational health screenings, drug and alcohol testing, medical examinations, and pharmacy benefit management — none of which involve the orthopedic immobilization device or procedure the code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local procurement bodies appear to be misclassifying laboratory, clinical testing, and occupational health services under a taxonomy entry designed for a specific medical device or treatment modality.

The issuing bodies pursuing laboratory and occupational health services span state departments (Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs, Colorado Department of Human Services, Oregon State Police, Nevada Purchasing Division), county governments (Harris County, Hillsborough County, Brevard County, Collier County, Henry County, Muscogee County, Solano County, Marion County, Dawson County), city and school districts (Austin Independent School District, City of Austin, City of Palm Bay, Northside Independent School District, Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District, Trophy Club Fire Department), and specialized agencies (District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Texas Animal Health Commission, Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs). Recent opportunities include the Illinois Department of Human Services' IFB for clinical laboratory services across 14 mental health facilities (due August 4, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for lead sample analysis services requiring EPA-accredited laboratory capacity (due July 31, 2026), Hillsborough County's ITB for occupational wellness examinations for fire rescue personnel estimated at $2,480,940 over three years (due July 21, 2026), and the State of Nevada's RFP for statewide clinical laboratory testing with a five percent preference for Nevada-based vendors (due July 13, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Kentucky, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, and Nevada, with scattered procurement in Georgia, Oregon, Colorado, and the District of Columbia. The code's misalignment with actual procured services suggests either data entry error or systematic miscoding at source; pursuing vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for laboratory, occupational health, and diagnostic testing services before building market strategy around this entry.
