UNSPSC 85802238: Removal of splint on abdominal wall

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to removal of splint on abdominal wall. 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 2W53X1Z

UNSPSC 85802238 Removal of splint on abdominal wall, Commodity tier, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity identified in the source material. The code nominally describes a surgical or medical procedure involving abdominal wall treatment, but the recent opportunities tagged under or near this code span clinical laboratory services, occupational health testing, pharmacy benefit management, drug screening, wastewater analysis, histology services, and inmate medical care—none of which involve splint removal or abdominal wall procedures. The single most relevant opportunity, an Illinois Department of Human Services IFB for clinical laboratory services at 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities with an August 4, 2026 response date, encompasses specimen collection and diagnostic testing but does not address the procedure the code nominally describes. The geographic spread of opportunities spans Texas, Illinois, Kentucky, Florida, Michigan, Georgia, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, and other states, but the code shows no coherent purchasing pattern focused on surgical or orthopedic splint-related services.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of state health agencies, county governments, school districts, transit authorities, and specialized facilities such as veterans centers and psychiatric hospitals, all seeking clinical, occupational health, laboratory, or related diagnostic services rather than procedural or surgical interventions. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code does not reflect current state and local procurement demand. No relevant recent opportunities support active pursuit under this UNSPSC code at this time.
