This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to immobilization of right upper extremity using brace. 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 2W38X3Z

UNSPSC 85801573 Immobilization of right upper extremity using brace is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for orthopaedic braces, immobilization devices, or related medical equipment. Instead, the tagged opportunities span unrelated categories: nursing staffing for medically fragile students, virtual urgent care services, mobile dialysis services, laboratory equipment maintenance, DOT medical examinations, occupational health and drug testing services, lead sample analysis, blood products, and clinical laboratory testing. The code does not map to the work actually being solicited in these records.

State and local governments procuring under this code, if activity exists at a meaningful scale, would be purchasing orthopaedic braces and upper-extremity immobilization devices for corrections facilities, county jails, school health clinics, occupational health programs, or other institutional settings where injury prevention or post-injury recovery requires standardized bracing solutions. The lack of relevant recent opportunities suggests either light demand under this specific commodity code, misclassification of opportunities in the source data, or that state and local bodies purchasing such devices do so through broader medical supply or equipment agreements rather than discrete solicitations. Interested vendors should monitor future postings in corrections, occupational health, and school health services categories where such equipment is most likely to be procured.
