UNSPSC 85802135 Removal of splint on head, a Commodity code, describes medical procedures and supplies for post-operative or injury-related care that state and local governments procure primarily through school districts, corrections departments, and health authorities managing medically complex populations. The code shows minimal direct recent activity under its narrow nominal scope; recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broader occupational health, clinical laboratory, and medical staffing services across corrections, public health, fire rescue, and mental health settings.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing activity in this code's vicinity include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), county corrections departments (Escambia County Corrections in Florida), county health systems and medical examiners' offices (Santa Clara County, Brevard County, San Mateo County in California and Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois DHS, Kentucky Veterans Affairs), and transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit). Hillsborough County Public Schools posted a single/sole source notice in October 2026 for supplemental nursing staffing to provide 1:1 care for medically fragile students, including complex health management such as ventilator care, tracheostomy management, and seizure monitoring—services that may encompass removal or management of medical devices but remain distinct from the code's nominal definition. Escambia County Corrections solicited RFP proposals in November 2026 for comprehensive onsite chronic dialysis services for inmate patients, reflecting a trend toward bundled clinical service contracting rather than discrete procedural supplies. Geographic concentration shows activity primarily in Florida, Texas, California, Illinois, and other states with large corrections, public health, and school-district populations, though the misalignment between the code's narrow scope and the opportunities being solicited suggests the code itself is used inconsistently or as a catch-all for medical staffing and clinical services that do not fit traditional supply taxonomies. Few opportunities directly address the removal of splints or comparable device-management procedures; pursue this code only if your firm offers comprehensive occupational health, clinical laboratory, or medical staffing services to corrections, school, or public health customers, as the code appears to serve as a administrative placeholder rather than a meaningful procurement category.
