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 2W50X3Z

UNSPSC 85802133 Removal of brace on head, a Commodity code, does not reflect the activity state and local governments are actually purchasing under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged with this code reveal a fundamental mismatch: the code nominally describes a medical device procedure, yet the solicitations document procurement of clinical laboratory testing, occupational health screening, drug and alcohol testing, postmortem analysis, medical surveillance, and inmate healthcare services—none of which involve brace removal. The Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs, and district and county governments in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Colorado, and Michigan are issuing RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and ITNs for specimen analysis, phlebotomy, STAT testing, preventive health examinations, and related clinical pathology work, not the orthopedic or cranial procedure the code name suggests. This code shows no recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope.

The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services departments, state veterans affairs programs, county and municipal government, independent school districts, public health agencies, and specialized facilities such as state psychiatric hospitals, veteran homes, and county detention facilities. Geographic spread includes Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, and other jurisdictions, with particular concentration in Texas and Kentucky. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Department of Human Services' July 2026 IFB for clinical laboratory services at 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities (response due August 4, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for lead sample analysis services with NLLAP accreditation requirement (response due July 31, 2026), and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' RFP for laboratory services at five psychiatric hospitals (response due June 19, 2026). Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes or confirm with individual agencies whether their laboratory service solicitations are properly classified under this designation.
