UNSPSC 85802412: Removal of splint 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 2W55X1Z

UNSPSC 85802412 Removal of splint on back (Commodity) does not map to the state and local procurement activity reflected in the recent opportunities block. The code's nominal scope describes a discrete clinical procedure—removal of a spinal immobilization device—yet the recent solicitations posted under this code span laboratory services, occupational health screenings, drug and alcohol testing, medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, histology analysis, wastewater testing, inmate medical services, employee clinic operations, and hazardous waste disposal. These opportunities reflect no meaningful pattern of procurement for splint removal or related orthopedic procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the breadth of medical and testing services tagged to it suggests either a data-classification error in the source material or the code's use as a catch-all taxonomy classification for unrelated health services work that does not align with standard UNSPSC medical procedure coding. State and local buyers show no detectable recent demand for splint removal as a standalone service line under this code.

The recent opportunities do reveal substantive purchasing activity across clinical laboratory testing, occupational health services, and occupational medicine—work that clusters in Texas (Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Animal Health Commission, City of Austin, Northside Independent School District, Henry County Georgia, Austin Independent School District), Kentucky (Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs facilities), Michigan (Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, State of Michigan), Florida (Brevard County, Collier County, Hillsborough County, City of Palm Bay), Colorado (Department of Human Services), and Ohio (Muscogee County). Issuers span state health and human services agencies, county commissioners, school districts, sheriff departments, and fire departments. Representative recent procurements include the Illinois Department of Human Services' July 2026 IFB for clinical laboratory services across 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities (due August 4, 2026) with a 7 percent Business Enterprise Program set-aside, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's lead sample analysis services RFP for the Blood Lead Surveillance Branch (due July 31, 2026) requiring EPA-NLLAP accreditation and a 26 percent HUB subcontracting plan, and the State of Nevada's clinical laboratory testing RFP statewide across 21 rural clinic centers (due July 13, 2026) with a 5 percent Nevada-business preference. The code does not support pursuit under its nominal definition.
