UNSPSC 85802143: Immobilization of neck using splint

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to immobilization of neck using splint. 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 2W32X1Z

UNSPSC 85802143 Immobilization of neck using splint is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect neck-splint procurement; instead, the opportunities span clinical staffing, laboratory services, occupational health examinations, and medical surveillance—a clear mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation activity. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated product line. Of the opportunities listed, only one explicitly relates to health services procurement: Hillsborough County Public Schools' staffing request for nursing services to medically fragile students (including ventilator management, tracheostomy care, and medication administration). The remaining solicitations covering laboratory testing, drug and alcohol testing, occupational medicine, fire department physicals, and postmortem analysis appear to have been tagged with this code in error or through over-broad classification.

Absent reliable recent procurement activity under UNSPSC 85802143 tied to neck immobilization equipment or supplies, the code does not present a clear or actionable opportunity profile for vendors in that product category. Firms pursuing state and local medical device or splinting contracts should verify category coding directly with issuing bodies rather than rely on this code's recent posting history. The single relevant staffing solicitation from Hillsborough County Schools (RFP 25619SSDDST, due December 2, 2026) targets nursing personnel, not medical devices, and involved a single/sole-source procurement to AB Staffing Solutions, not open competitive procurement.
