UNSPSC 85802040: Traction of right upper extremity using traction apparatus

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to traction of right upper extremity using traction apparatus. 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 2W68X0Z

UNSPSC 85802040 "Traction of right upper extremity using traction apparatus" is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—medical traction equipment for upper-extremity treatment—does not match the work actually being solicited under this code designation. Recent opportunities tagged to 85802040 cover clinical laboratory testing, occupational health examinations, drug screening, medical staffing, pharmaceutical benefit management, hazardous waste services, and postmortem testing—none of which relate to traction apparatus or orthopedic rehabilitation equipment. The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity suggests either a data classification error in the source records or a code assignment inconsistency across issuing bodies.

Among the 30+ state and local opportunities in the source dataset, issuing bodies span state departments (Illinois DHS, Texas HHSC, Michigan MDHHS, Commonwealth of Kentucky), counties (Harris County, Brevard County, Collier County, Muscogee County, Solano County, Marion County, Hillsborough County, Henry County, Dawson County), cities (Austin, Palm Bay, Columbus), school districts (Northside ISD, Austin ISD, Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD), special-purpose districts (Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD, Trophy Club Fire Department), and transit authorities (Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County). The geographic spread includes Texas, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Florida, Nevada, Colorado, Georgia, Oregon, California, Mississippi, and the District of Columbia. Laboratory services—clinical, diagnostic, occupational health screening, and drug testing—dominate the recent activity; representative opportunities include the Illinois Department of Human Services laboratory services RFP (IFB B-52955, responses due August 4, 2026), the Texas HHSC lead sample analysis services IFB (HHS0017054, responses due July 31, 2026), and multiple Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs medical laboratory RFPs at skilled nursing facilities. The code shows no current market concentration and exhibits no clear pattern of repeat activity under the nominal traction-apparatus definition.
