UNSPSC 85801853: Removal of packing material on left upper extremity

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to removal of packing material on left upper extremity. 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 2W59X5Z

UNSPSC 85801853 Removal of packing material on left upper extremity is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a medical procedure—removal of packing material from an upper extremity wound—yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations directly aligned with that clinical service. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health screenings, nursing staffing for medically fragile students, dialysis services, laboratory testing, drug screening, and fire department medical exams. These are discrete service lines unrelated to the code's stated scope, suggesting a potential tagging or classification mismatch in the underlying procurement database.

The single opportunity with the strongest surface connection to the code is Hillsborough County Public Schools' Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source for comprehensive 1:1 nursing staffing across school locations to manage medically complex students, including ventilator management, tracheostomy care, and other acute interventions (posted October 19, 2026, due December 2, 2025). However, this solicitation targets ongoing clinical staffing rather than wound-care procedures. The remaining opportunities—including Escambia County Corrections' request for onsite dialysis services (RFP, due November 3, 2026), the State of Illinois preemployment physicals and drug screening (due October 8, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services' lead sample analysis (IFB, due August 21, 2026)—address occupational medicine, public health laboratory work, and custodial care, none of which map to the code's nominal description. Until procurement offices align their tagging practices or the code's scope clarifies, this category warrants a watch posture rather than active pursuit.
