About UNSPSC 85801862

UNSPSC 85801862 Removal of packing material on right upper arm is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally refers to a medical procedure (removal of foreign material from the upper extremity following trauma or surgical intervention), but the recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational health examinations, clinical laboratory services, drug and alcohol testing, pharmacy benefit management, hazardous waste services, and inmate medical care—none of which align with the stated scope of the code. State and local buyers are not soliciting postoperative wound care, orthopedic rehabilitation, or dermatological removal services under this classification.

The recent opportunities bearing this UNSPSC tag fall into three functional categories that diverge sharply from the code's nominal scope: clinical laboratory testing (blood draws, urinalysis, pathology, diagnostic panels, and drug screening for mental health facilities, veterans centers, state hospitals, and health departments across Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, and Florida); occupational health and pre-employment screening (annual physicals, fitness-for-duty evaluations, TCOLE and DOT compliance testing for fire departments, school districts, and transit authorities in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Florida); and specialty testing services including lead analysis, hantavirus genomic sequencing, drug monitoring, and wastewater surveillance for public health agencies. The issuing bodies are state departments (health, veterans affairs, transportation, criminal justice), county health and social services offices, school districts, fire departments, transit authorities, and special-purpose health facilities. No single jurisdiction dominates the activity; recent solicitations span at least a dozen states with notable concentration in Texas, Kentucky, and Florida. Because the opportunities are misclassified under this code rather than genuinely procured under its intended scope, the code itself signals minimal acquisition interest in packing material removal services at state and local levels.
