UNSPSC 85801836: Removal of other device on right hand

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to removal of other device 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 2W5EXYZ

UNSPSC 85801836, a Commodity code for removal of other device on right hand, does not align with the scope of work reflected in recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code document clinical laboratory testing, occupational health examinations, drug and alcohol screening, medical surveillance, postmortem testing, pharmacy benefit management, and related diagnostic services—none of which fall within the orthopedic or surgical device-removal scope the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's nominal taxonomy and the actual work being solicited suggests this code shows little relevant activity in state and local procurement, or the tagging reflects a data classification error rather than genuine procurement intent under the stated commodity definition.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state health and human services departments, county governments, independent school districts, transit authorities, and veteran affairs centers, with heavy concentration among Texas agencies and Kentucky veteran facilities. Representative recent solicitations include the Illinois Department of Human Services' IFB for clinical laboratory services at 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities (due August 4, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for lead sample analysis at the Blood Lead Surveillance Branch in Austin (due July 31, 2026), and the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs' multiple RFPs for medical laboratory services across three veterans centers serving long-term care skilled nursing residents. Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Kentucky, and Illinois, with secondary clusters in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Colorado, and Nevada. The prevalence of laboratory and occupational health procurement across this dataset, combined with the code's orthopedic device-removal designation, indicates the code does not capture state and local procurement in its intended domain.
