UNSPSC 85802411: Removal of cast on back

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 2W55X2Z

UNSPSC 85802411 Removal of cast on back (Commodity) does not map to active state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes medical device or service removal related to orthopedic care, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect staffing, clinical testing, occupational health screening, and laboratory services—work substantially outside the code's scope. Hillsborough County Public Schools posted a Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source for supplemental nursing services for medically fragile students through AB Staffing Solutions (solicitation 25619SSDDST, due December 2, 2025), targeting 1:1 nursing support including ventilator management, tracheostomy care, and medication administration. The District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner requested quotes for postmortem testing services (DOC835364 and DOC833282, both posted in June and July 2026 with response deadlines of July 13 and June 18, 2026 respectively). Illinois Department of Human Services and multiple state health departments solicited clinical laboratory services, occupational health assessments, and drug testing screening. None of these opportunities involve cast removal or orthopedic device extraction.

The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source system or that the code has been repurposed to capture broader health services procurement at the state and local level. If the code is intended to cover only orthopedic device removal, it shows no relevant recent activity. Pursue this code only if your firm delivers clinical laboratory testing, occupational health screening, nursing staffing, or related health services in multi-facility settings and already holds active contracts in similar jurisdictions; the code as currently tagged does not reflect orthopedic or post-surgical medical device management.
