UNSPSC 85802246: Immobilization of left lower extremity using brace

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to immobilization of left lower extremity using brace. 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 2W3MX3Z

UNSPSC 85802246 Immobilization of left lower extremity using brace, a Commodity code, encompasses orthopedic bracing and immobilization devices procured by state and local health systems, corrections facilities, veterans' centers, and occupational health programs, though the recent-opportunities dataset shows limited direct activity under this specific code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code include clinical laboratory services, lead sample analysis, postmortem testing, medical surveillance, occupational screening, and inmate medical services—scopes that diverge substantially from left-lower-extremity bracing procurement. State and local buyers issuing under related healthcare and occupational health codes include the Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, City of Austin, Harris County Public Health Services, Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District, and various county and state corrections and veterans' facilities across Texas, Kentucky, Michigan, Colorado, and Florida. The geographic spread reflects high activity in Texas, Kentucky, and Florida, with secondary activity across Illinois, Michigan, Colorado, and the District of Columbia.

The code shows no recent state and local solicitations for actual left-lower-extremity bracing or orthopedic immobilization devices. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Department of Human Services' IFB for clinical laboratory services at 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities (due August 4, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for lead sample analysis services (due July 31, 2026), the City of Austin's RFQ for mobile medical surveillance services at Energy facilities (due August 4, 2026), and the Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD's RFP for agency-wide clinical laboratory services (due June 17, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—orthopedic immobilization—and the actual work being solicited suggests the code either sees minimal state and local activity in this commodity or is being misapplied to broader occupational health and laboratory testing procurements in practice.
