UNSPSC 85801936 Removal of splint on right lower extremity is a Commodity code. The code nominally denotes a specific orthopedic medical procedure—splint removal from a lower limb. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that specific service line; instead, the opportunities tagged to it span clinical laboratory testing, occupational health screening, postmortem testing, drug and alcohol testing, medical surveillance, pharmaceutical services, wastewater testing, and inmate healthcare. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and what is actually being solicited suggests either miscoding at the point of entry or that the taxonomy is being applied loosely to broader medical and healthcare service categories. No recent opportunities explicitly request splint removal or orthopedic procedure services.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include state health and human services departments (Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, Colorado, Michigan), county governments (Harris, Hillsborough, Marion, Collier, Brevard), cities and independent school districts (Austin, Northside ISD), transit authorities, and specialized state facilities such as psychiatric hospitals and veterans centers. Geographic spread covers Texas (multiple state agencies and local jurisdictions), Illinois, Kentucky, Colorado, Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Nevada, and Washington state. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Department of Human Services' July 2026 IFB for laboratory services across 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities (due August 4, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for EPA-accredited lead sample analysis services (due July 31, 2026); and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 ITB for comprehensive occupational wellness examinations for fire rescue personnel, estimated at $2.48 million over three years (bids due July 21, 2026). The code's application to these diverse healthcare procurement categories warrants review; business development professionals should verify coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities under this Commodity designation, as the recent activity does not support a focused strategy around splint removal services.
