UNSPSC 85802421 Removal of splint on chest wall, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code based on recent solicitations. The available recent opportunities show substantial activity in clinical laboratory testing, occupational health screening, drug and alcohol testing, and medical surveillance services—none of which align with the narrow clinical procedure named in the code itself. The mismatch between the code name and the actual procurement activity suggests this code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or carries a broader interpretation than its nominal scope indicates. Across the recent opportunities in the dataset, the code sees activity from state health and human services agencies, veterans' centers, school districts, county health and fire departments, and independent organizations providing direct medical services. Issuing bodies range from state departments (Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs) to county and municipal purchasing offices (Hillsborough County, Brevard County, Collier County, Harris County) and independent school districts, with repeat procurements from Kentucky veterans' facilities appearing multiple times across different locations.

The geographic spread is dominated by Texas, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Colorado, and Nevada, with secondary activity in Oregon, California, Mississippi, and the District of Columbia. 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, under RFP B-52955 with a 7% Business Enterprise Program goal), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for lead sample analysis services (due July 31, 2026, requiring EPA-NLLAP accreditation and a 26% HUB subcontracting plan), the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs RFP for medical laboratory services at Bowling Green Veterans Center (due July 22, 2026), and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB for comprehensive occupational wellness examinations for the Fire Rescue Department (estimated contract value $2.48 million over three years, due July 21, 2026). The code shows active, recurring procurement across the first half of 2026, with most opportunities concentrated in clinical pathology, drug screening, occupational health exams, and direct specimen collection and testing services rather than surgical or emergency room splint removal procedures.
