UNSPSC 85802244: Packing of abdominal wall using packing material

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to packing of abdominal wall using packing material. 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 2W43X5Z

UNSPSC 85802244 Packing of abdominal wall using packing material is a Commodity code showing minimal recent state and local activity aligned with its abstract scope; the solicitations posted under this code do not reflect the abdominal-wall surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, state and local procurement records tagged with this code span clinical laboratory services, occupational health screening, drug and alcohol testing, postmortem testing, wastewater analysis, and related diagnostic work across public health departments, veterans facilities, school districts, county governments, and state agencies. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being solicited suggests either misclassification in state procurement systems or that the code is rarely used for its intended purpose in the state and local market. Representative recent solicitations include the Illinois Department of Human Services' IFB for clinical laboratory services at 14 mental health facilities (due August 4, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's lead sample analysis services procurement (due July 31, 2026), the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs' medical laboratory services at multiple skilled nursing facilities, and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' statewide drug screening services (due May 4, 2026). These opportunities span clinical pathology, microbiology, phlebotomy, specimen processing, and results reporting.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health and human services departments, state veterans affairs systems, county health and corrections offices, municipal utilities, school districts, fire departments, and specialized agencies such as animal health commissions and medical examiner offices. State agencies dominate the activity, with Kentucky's Veterans Affairs system posting multiple facility-level laboratory services RFPs; Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking both lead and wastewater testing; Michigan's health and human services division procuring statewide drug screening; and Illinois, Colorado, and Nevada health agencies seeking comprehensive diagnostic testing. Geographic spread covers Texas, Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Georgia, Florida, and other states; Texas and Kentucky show the heaviest recent activity. The code does not appear to reflect meaningful procurement for abdominal-wall surgical packing and should be validated against issuing agencies' actual commodity assignments before pursuing work under this classification.
