UNSPSC 85801574 Immobilization of right upper extremity using cast is a Commodity code that does not see recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's definition refers to orthopedic cast immobilization products or services for upper-extremity injuries. However, the recent opportunities tagged under this code in state and local procurement systems are principally healthcare staffing, laboratory services, occupational health examinations, and medical review officer services—none of which involve cast immobilization or orthopedic product supply. The disconnect suggests either a systematic miscoding in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for unrelated medical services, making the code unsuitable as a procurement category for firms pursuing cast immobilization work.

The recent opportunities associated with this code span school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), county health systems (Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, Collin County), state departments (Illinois Department of Human Services, Kentucky Department of Veteran Affairs, Texas HHSC, Nevada Purchasing), correctional agencies (Boulder County Sheriff's Office, Escambia County Corrections), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit), and municipalities (Austin, Tucson, Arlington, Newark). Representative solicitations include staffing for medically fragile students at Hillsborough County Public Schools (Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source, posted October 19, 2026), comprehensive occupational wellness examinations at Hillsborough County Fire Rescue (ITB-26-00315, due July 21, 2026), clinical laboratory services at multiple Illinois mental health facilities (DHS IFB B-52955, due August 14, 2026), and lead sample analysis services for the Texas Department of State Health Services (HHS0017054v3, due August 21, 2026). Geographic activity is nationwide, with visible concentration in Texas, Illinois, California, Florida, Colorado, and Nevada. No recent opportunities in this dataset address the code's stated scope of cast immobilization services.
