UNSPSC 85802142: Immobilization of neck using cast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to immobilization of neck using cast. 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 2W32X2Z

UNSPSC 85802142 Immobilization of neck using cast is a Commodity-level code that nominally describes orthopedic casting materials or services, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's stated scope. The single directly relevant recent opportunity—Hillsborough County Public Schools' staffing procurement for medically fragile students (Solicitation 25619SSDDST, Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source, due Dec. 2, 2025)—involves nursing services including tracheostomy care and ventilator management rather than neck immobilization casting. The remaining opportunities in the dataset span unrelated categories: virtual urgent care (Inland Empire Health Plan, RFI, Oct. 31, 2026), mobile dialysis services (Escambia County Corrections, RFP, Nov. 3, 2026), laboratory services across multiple states, occupational health screenings, and medical surveillance. This divergence between code nomenclature and actual procurement activity signals that the code shows limited recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition.

Issuing bodies tagging opportunities under this code span school districts, county corrections departments, health authorities, state departments, and local health systems across Florida, California, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, Kentucky, Nevada, New Jersey, Washington, and the District of Columbia. Geographic spread is nationwide with no concentration in any single region. Activity is sporadic and driven by operational needs in health care, corrections, and occupational medicine rather than orthopedic casting procurement. The code appears to function as a catch-all or mislabeling mechanism when state and local procurement systems lack more granular health services codes. Vendors pursuing contracts under this code should clarify with issuing bodies whether the code assignment reflects intended scope, as misalignment between UNSPSC tagging and actual work requirements is evident throughout the recent opportunity set.
