This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to removal of splint on right inguinal region. 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 2W56X1Z

UNSPSC 85802229 Removal of splint on right inguinal region is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government purchasing activity currently reflected in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for splint removal, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it procure health services and staffing fundamentally unrelated to this specific clinical intervention—including nursing staffing, telehealth urgent care, dialysis services, laboratory testing, occupational health examinations, phlebotomy, and billing services.

State and local buyers issuing under this code span school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), health authorities (Inland Empire Health Plan), county corrections departments (Escambia County), county medical examiners and laboratory services (Santa Clara County Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Public Health Services), state departments (Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Kentucky Department of Veteran Affairs, State of Nevada Purchasing Division, District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner), cities (Boulder County Sheriff's Office, City of Austin, City of Arlington, City of Tucson), and regional transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority). The issuing-body mix shows heavy concentration among county health and corrections systems and state health or welfare departments. No standout repeat buyers emerge from the recent opportunities. Geographic spread includes Florida (Hillsborough County, Escambia County), California (Inland Empire Health Plan, Santa Clara), Texas (Harris County, Collin County, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Austin Energy, Arlington Fire Department, Northside Independent School District, Trophy Club Fire Department, Health and Human Services Commission), Illinois (Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Human Services), Colorado (Boulder County), New Mexico (Bernalillo County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Kentucky (Department of Veteran Affairs), Georgia (Forsyth County), and Nevada (State Purchasing Division), with scattered activity across multiple states.

Recent opportunities do not support meaningful UNSPSC 85802229 activity. The source shows extensive procurement of clinical laboratory services, occupational health examinations, drug and alcohol testing, phlebotomy, emergency medical technician staffing, nursing staffing for medically fragile students, dialysis services, and related health screening—none of which corresponds to surgical splint removal. The code's tagging appears to be a categorization mismatch rather than a reflection of actual buying patterns under this Commodity code. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local procurement purposes based on available recent-opportunity data.
