UNSPSC 85801962 "Removal of traction apparatus on right upper arm" is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—describing a discrete orthopedic or surgical procedure—does not match the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this taxonomy entry.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational and preventive health services, clinical laboratory testing, staffing for medically complex populations, and drug testing administration—none of which involve removal of upper-extremity traction apparatus. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued a Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source for nursing staffing to support medically fragile students (Solicitation 25619SSDDST, due December 2, 2025), and Escambia County Corrections Department solicited comprehensive onsite chronic dialysis services (RFP PD2526121, due November 3, 2026). The District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple county health departments have posted RFPs and RFQs for laboratory services, occupational health examinations, and medical review officer functions. These solicitations span Florida, Illinois, Texas, California, Nevada, Colorado, Kentucky, Washington, and Washington D.C., reflecting national activity in occupational medicine, clinical diagnostics, and healthcare staffing—categories orthogonal to the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests that UNSPSC 85801962 is either misapplied to these opportunities or rarely used by state and local procurement offices for actual clinical procedure contracting; the code does not currently represent a material procurement category in the jurisdictions tracked.
