UNSPSC 85802147: Immobilization of face using cast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to immobilization of face 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 2W31X2Z

UNSPSC 85802147 Immobilization of face using cast (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The code's technical definition—orthopedic or medical immobilization supplies for facial trauma or post-surgical support—does not match the opportunities posted under this code in the past ninety days. Instead, the recent solicitations tagged to 85802147 span clinical laboratory testing, occupational health screening, drug and alcohol testing, medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, hazardous waste disposal, and histology services—none of which involve casting supplies or facial immobilization devices. This mismatch indicates either a data-classification error in the source records or that the code is being used as a catch-all for miscellaneous medical and health services procurement. The code reports no concrete purchasing volume for its stated product category among state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, or transit authorities during the review period.

Because the recent opportunities do not reflect genuine demand for immobilization-of-face products or services, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes. To pursue face-cast or orthopedic immobilization supply opportunities, search instead under codes aligned with medical devices, orthopedic equipment, or surgical supplies rather than relying on the current 85802147 classification.
