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 2W5BX1Z

UNSPSC 85801929 Removal of splint on left upper arm is a Commodity code that shows minimal direct relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic procedure — the removal of a splint applied to a left upper arm — yet recent opportunities tagged under this code involve nursing staffing, laboratory services, occupational health screening, dialysis provision, and telehealth delivery. These solicitations span clinical laboratory testing, phlebotomy, occupational wellness examinations, emergency medical technician staffing, and medical review officer services, none of which are aligned with splint removal or narrowly defined orthopedic device management. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the recent-opportunities block or that this particular code is not the appropriate taxonomy tier for the work actually being procured.

The issuing bodies in the dataset include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), county corrections departments (Escambia County), regional health authorities (Inland Empire Health Plan), county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center, Collin County), and state departments (Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Nevada, Kentucky Department of Veteran Affairs, Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread spans Florida, California, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, Kentucky, Washington, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' Notice of Intent to Purchase for supplemental nursing services for medically fragile students (single/sole source, December 2, 2025 posting date), Escambia County Corrections Department's RFP for onsite chronic dialysis services (RFP, November 3, 2026 deadline), and the State of Nevada's RFP for clinical laboratory testing services statewide (RFP, July 13, 2026 deadline). The code itself appears inactive or misclassified for its nominal scope; the recent opportunities reflect general occupational and clinical health service procurement across multiple state and local jurisdictions, not orthopedic procedure management.
