UNSPSC 85801758: Removal of cast on right hand

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 2W5EX2Z

UNSPSC 85801758 Removal of cast on right hand, a Commodity code, does not reflect what state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span clinical laboratory testing, occupational health services, drug screening, postmortem testing, and medical surveillance — none of which align with orthopedic cast removal. The code itself appears to describe a specific surgical or medical procedure, but the state and local contract records show no demand for cast removal as a line-item service; instead, they reveal a dominant and persistent market for laboratory services, occupational medicine screening, and workplace health assessments across state health departments, counties, school districts, transit authorities, and veterans care facilities. This mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding issue in procurement records or an absence of relevant activity under the intended code scope.

State and local buyers are actively acquiring comprehensive laboratory testing services — clinical pathology, drug screening, infectious disease testing, wastewater analysis, and environmental sampling — through RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and ITNs issued by the 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, the State of Nevada, and numerous county and municipal health agencies across Texas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Oregon, and other jurisdictions. Representative recent solicitations 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 with EPA-recognized laboratory accreditation (due July 31, 2026), Michigan's RFP for psychiatric hospital laboratory services at five locations (due June 19, 2026), and the State of Nevada's RFP for statewide clinical laboratory testing with specimen collection across 21 rural clinics and multiple state facilities (due July 13, 2026). Occupational health services — including physicals, drug and alcohol testing, pre-employment screening, and medical surveillance for firefighters, law enforcement, school district staff, and utility employees — comprise a second major activity stream, with solicitations from the City of Austin, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, Henry County Georgia, the Austin Independent School District, and numerous other state and local agencies. No activity is present under the code that aligns with cast removal services or orthopedic medical procedures.
